In task one I have to explain the different markets in the construction sector. I will use national statistics as a source of raw data. In the second task I will describe the four main economic resources needed to enable the initiation of a construction project, looking at the scenario that I will write to the manager as a junior surveyor and I will basically describe the requirements to enable the initiation of a construction project. In activity three I will look at the different types of financing available for a typical construction project, including the different conditions and terms imposed by the supplier. This will involve researching leading banks and financial providers, regarding their requirements and conditions. In activity four I will research leading companies and provide information from different sources regarding their terms and conditions. TASK 1 P2 Capital Markets: Capital markets are where buyers and sellers are involved in trading financial securities and have a lien, called bonds and stocks. Capital markets involve borrowing/borrowing money on a longer time basis and involves investors to invest and keep it protected. All financial transactions take place between users and fund providers. Commodity Markets: Commodity markets are where every supply is controlled by the government and the government decides what products and services are needed. They also decide when and how to distribute it. Commodity markets actually help and work to get the actual products, like working on a farm and growing food, even going to sea and extracting oil from the land, these are all commodity markets unlike manufactured products where they are use different techniques to get the… half of the card… so that his money may not be refunded if the company goes bankrupt. Stocks: Preferred stocks give their owners preferences over regular shareholders. The difference between common and preferred shares is that preferred shares are permitted a fixed payment while common shares are not. But preference shareholders cannot vote in general meetings. Investments: It is the purchase of an asset that will bring more money in the future. An investment will require a good explanation of the business you are building, as well as the lender taking a percentage of that business. For example, someone who wanted to build a construction project but needed £100,000 goes to another businessman to tell him about his project and if he accepts he receives the money on one condition and that is that the creditor will take 30% of the project of construction.
