Need Guidance on Basic Construction Practices

[elianajohnson]

I am currently trying to better understand the construction process and would appreciate some guidance from those with experience in the field. There are many stages involved, from site preparation to finishing work, and I want to make sure I am looking at things the right way.
For someone who is still learning, what are the most important things to focus on to ensure a construction project runs smoothly? Are there common mistakes beginners should be aware of, or best practices that help maintain quality and coordination on site?
