Scope

Construction activities begin with the issuance of construction bid packages. The activities continue with the mobilization of construction and engineering support functions on site. Construction includes all activities required for the physical execution of the project scope at the construction site. It incorporates local conditions, laws, and regulations. During construction, the project resources mark-up drawings and documents in the field to reflect the actual installed conditions.

Construction is essentially complete when all parts of the installation are consistent with the plans and specifications and are ready for pre-commissioning. In order for construction to be fully complete, the final engineering firm must complete the as-built drawings and final software programs. This typically happens after commissioning.
