Construction is further classified into five sections which are site preparation, building of complete construction or parts thereof or civil works, building services installation, installation finishes and rental of construction or demolition

The role is not just involved designing a building, they are also taking the responsibilities of public safety and overseeing the project. In design role, normally client will hire an architect and give some ideas to architect. Architect produces a detail design of ideas and concepts according to the client’s needs and budgets. The detailed design must follow with building and safety regulation, local regulation from local authorities and restriction. There has some laws about preservation of local environment and any historical building surrounds depending on the project. Next, contractor is a person who employs directly employs or under a company that they need to perform their work on contract basis or manages construction work. The contractor can be divided into main contractor and sub-contractor. One of the role of contractor is making clients aware of their duties.

It is an engineering works created through the moving massive quantities of soil or unformed rock. It carried out at the early stage of a construction projects. Completion of the earthworks within the schedules times often the main key to the completion on time of the while projects. Engineers need to concern themselves with issues of geotechnical engineering and with quantity estimation to ensure that soil volumes in the cuts match those of the fills, while minimizing the distance of movement. Basically, a site need to be leveled before any building work being carried out. Earthwork is done to produce platform level which been stated in construction drawing. There are three methods normally used during the process which are cut & fill, fill and cut.

• Setting out is a process of estimating lines, levels, curves and arcs, as well as positioning other features in relation to a given point, typically a house, or other building. On larger projects, automatic levels, theodolites and laser beam levels even GPS are used to assist in setting out, but there are some basic setting out skills that require nothing more technical than a string line, an accurate spirit level, a tape measure, a handful of marker pegs, preferably 12mm steel road pins and occasionally, a
