Management levels

Management levels are the hierarchy of all the designations of people present in a construction company or construction project. For the proper execution of the project, all the components of a management hierarchy must work properly as per their responsibility. The main objective of creating management levels is that the whole work should be distributed in parts to the respective departments of specialization in that part.
