Construction
The delivery side of the industry: contractors, design and build, and the architects who work on the building side. What construction covers and who is hiring.
Knowledge
Working in construction.
Construction is where design becomes building. Main contractors coordinate the trades, programmes and risks of delivery, and under design and build procurement they take responsibility for the design itself.
That creates real careers for architects and technologists on the contractor side. Design managers and coordinators at contractors review information, manage consultants and solve buildability problems, and the technical grounding is valued across the industry. Many move back to practice with sharper detailing and site judgement.
