Planning
The term 'planning' is a very broad one that typically refers to making plans for some sort of undertaking. This might involve; assessing needs, quantifying resources, defining goals, developing strategies, describing and allocating tasks and monitoring progress. For more information see: Plan.
However, in the construction industry, the term ‘planning’ can also refer to the process of obtaining planning permission, or the general subject of town and country planning.
