Gantt chart for constructing a two-floor independent house over about 9 months: design and approvals (architectural drawings, plan sanction, soil test), foundation (excavation, footings, plinth), structure (ground floor slab, first floor slab, masonry), services (plumbing, electrical conduits in parallel), finishing (plastering, flooring, painting, fixtures) and handover (snag list, completion certificate).

How a building project moves through the local authority: plan approval, stage inspections during construction, and the occupancy certificate.
How a construction site orders materials: site request, quotes from suppliers, purchase order, delivery, quality check and payment.
A platform for running building projects: schedules, site diaries, drawings, RFIs, quality and safety checklists, and billing.
How building information modelling (BIM) data flows between designers, contractors and the owner: coordination, clash detection, quantities and handover.
A daily safety inspection routine on a construction site: checklists, hazard reporting, stop-work authority and follow-up.
Tables for a construction project system: projects, sites, work packages, subcontractors, materials, daily logs and payments.
