In civil engineering, '''construction''' is the building or assembly of any [[infrastructure]]. Although this may be thought of as a single activity, in fact construction is a feat of multitasking. Normally the job is managed by the project manager, supervised on site by the design engineer and foreman, scrutinized closely by the stakeholders, and often, when construction delays occur, detested by the public.
