The Wellington Condominiums Project was investigated to identify areas of a project that are good candidates for further research in: alternative methods of construction, value engineering, and schedule compression. A report is put together to establish four main areas of research concerning industry and project specific issues.

A main theme that I would like to introduce into the report is “Building for the Future.” As construction managers our future is about building tomorrow today. We have to understand that our basic responsibilities are in the actual construction and management of a building project. This is only a fraction of our responsibilities of what is more vital: the building of communication, trust, and respect with other people in the industry. Our future depends on building respect and taking team work and ethics to a new higher standard. With project delivery methods more frequently utilizing better team work arrangements like design-build, it is up to us whether or not the future of the building construction industry will respect that evolving philosophy.
