How are construction works defined?:  Allocating construction work; Different ways to specify construction work; The structure of a work specification; Quantity determination;  Using invitations to tender to realize plan quality;  The basis for turning the plan into reality;  How to avoid cost overruns and unpleasant surprises on the construction site.
