Building Procurement
- Share to:
An essential question to ask before embarking on any exercise or enterprise
beyond that of the transitory or trivial is 'Why?'
An exercise, that is a set of movements, tasks and so on designed to
train, improve or test abilities may perhaps be transitory or trivial especially
to those not involved. But an enterprise, that is a project or undertaking
especially one requiring boldness or effort is not generally started as a
transitory or trivial matter.
Construction is undeniably an enterprise, an act of boldness even for
the simplest building. For modern, complex buildings it involves the
commissioning, management, design and assembly of huge amounts of
raw materials and the use of considerable labour resources over a long
period of time - so why is it carried out? In simple terms construction is
only necessary when no other building exists or appears to exist that
either does meet or appears likely to meet the needs of a client. It is self
evident that the client is the only reason for building and is the key to
why and then to how a building is obtained, how it is procured.
