Frequently asked questions
A firm offering design, construction management and maintenance as a single service: 71.12.20 or 71.12.10?
Usually 71.12.20, because it covers combined engineering services delivered in an integrated form across multiple engineering and architecture disciplines. If you provide engineering design only, the base code remains 71.12.10.
I manage an integrated construction project but do not build: do I fall here or under construction?
Yes, integrated project management falls under 71.12.20; the actual construction of buildings and civil engineering works is excluded and belongs in Section F. The distinction is between designing and managing the project versus physically executing the work.
Project management of a construction work versus general business management consulting: where does 71.12.20 end?
71.12.20 applies to the management of civil and industrial engineering projects. Generic business-process project management is management consulting, i.e. 70.20.09, which specifically excludes construction and engineering projects.
