physical facilities has a different perspective on project management for construction.
2. Specialized knowledge.
3. It is advantageous to understand how the different parts of the process fit together.
4. Waste, excessive cost and delays can result from poor coordination and communication
among specialists.

6. And it behooves all participants in the process to heed the interests of owners because, in
the end, it is the owners who provide the resources and call the shots.
