In a project, you will probably be teamed up with construction professionals of different roles and expertise. Getting the project done successfully will need you to coordinate with one or two of the team members, unless you are the project manager, which will require you to communicate with the entire team.

A surveyor is at a site across the city or a contractor is at a meeting two states away. How will you collaborate with them?
