The engineer at a construction site is more a professional manager than an engineer

Any project is it a massive or light construction of over ground or underground structures, need a right infrastructure and construction methodology. The engineering institution fixed for the project shall set right the detailed planning and methodology to complete the project within the target date so as to avoid the time and the cost over run. However, the quality of construction should never be compromised with the speed to meet the deadline. The employer of the construction project may engage a professional advisor who shall be usually an architect or an engineer. The duties of the advisor are to examine the site, subsoil and the surroundings so as to ascertain whether the site is suitable for the concerned project. As repairs and modifications of the completed concrete structures are difficult and not desirable, the developer of the project should assure the durability by paying due attention to quality control. The impact of environmental hazards say, the elimination of dusting in an underground project undertaken by a city developer shall be planned and studied in depth before starting the excavation work.
