I would also recommend a site <a HREF="http://www.constructionwire.com/" rel="nofollow">Construction Wire</a> (http://www.constructionwire.com/), where you will get project reports of the big construction projects held in the past years. In this way, you will get to know the loopholes as well as strong points of the construction project and it would surely be a good add-on to your knowledge.

I had not considered this possibility, but you make a good point. Adding in more to a construction project is, from an owners perspective, a risky move because of the need for contractors to bid low, and possibly below cost. This could be an invitation to put contractors off the project and lead to a serious bonding and time of completion issue. @mark, your comment is interesting.
