1. Introduction

The purpose of this Manual is to provide all Field and Home Office Construction staff and departments with a reference source covering all phases of a construction project from its inception to its conclusion.

It is acknowledged that each construction project may have its own peculiarities, however, the policies in this Manual are presented in a concise form to cover most eventualities.

Mandatory conformity to the policies herein shall ensure that all Company construction projects are uniformly conceived and executed, and that construction management and supervision are in total agreement with the Company system for timely, economical and profitable execution of the construction project.

Any deviation from the Construction Manual must have the express approval of the Home Office Construction Department prior to its implementation.

Recognition by the Project Construction Manager and his staff of modern methods and the professional approach to construction will create an understanding of the need for specific and uniform guidelines for the execution of construction projects.

We in this industry recognize the requirement for a standard of professional competence in execution by engineering and construction firms, as well as equivalent monitoring techniques by Clients, that will result in well planned and executed projects.

We welcome any contributions from the field and staff which may improve our construction policy.
