The popularity ofdesign-build (DB) and its variations is increased since they facilitate a project processenvironment accommodating trust-based collaborative environment. Similar to domesticmarkets, there are many changing dynamics that affect the international construction arena. U.S.construction companies have a successful track record in international markets, and they led theinternational scene for many years due to their expertise in complex technical projects and theirefficient project management skills. However, their revenue share in international construction isin decline since the early 2000s for various reasons. The paper

However, there are many advantages that a financestudent can bring to a construction engineering and management program. Finance students aretaught to think critically and analyze every detail of a company in order to determine its valueboth in the short term and the long term. A construction project is managed much like acompany. By the end of the project, the goal is to build a product on schedule, on budget, and percontract.
