Issues During Construction

Construction is the combination of art, science, and engineering to build buildings, bridges, structures, roadways, highways. airports, etc. The construction business is a challenging and promising business worldwide with certain risk factors involved. Increasing demand for mankind leads to the growth of several construction companies which specialize in different construction projects. These construction companies initiate their construction process under certain agreements and time durations called the construction contract.

Question
