Ground yourself in construction fundamentals before tackling building projects, construction
contracts, or development tasks.
Covers universal concepts that apply across jurisdictions: project phases (design → closeout),
delivery methods (design-bid-build, design-build, construction management), contract types
(lump sum, cost-plus, guaranteed maximum price), permitting and approvals processes, change
order management, safety requirements and regulatory compliance, and payment mechanics
(retainage, lien waivers, progress payments). Emphasizes that construction regulations vary
significantly by jurisdiction—building codes, permitting, lien laws, and safety requirements
differ by location. Cross-references contracts primer for contract principles, real estate
primer for development context, and accounting primer for project accounting fundamentals.

User is working on construction-related questions or tasks. Load this primer to ground
responses in accurate construction concepts. Triggers: questions about construction project
phases, delivery methods, contract types, permitting processes, change order management,
safety requirements, payment mechanics, or construction terminology. For US-specific
questions (OSHA details, AIA contracts, US building codes, mechanic's lien laws), a US
sub-primer would provide additional jurisdiction-specific guidance.
