Other participants

Project stakeholders(干系人） are defined as all individuals or groups who have an active stake in the project and can potentially impact, either positively or negatively. Stakeholder analysis is a useful tool for demonstrating some of the seemingly irresolvable（看似无法解决） conflicts that occur through the planned creation and introduction of any new project.

★Supplier  （供应商）

Suppliers include  material & equipment ones. A major difference between equipment and material is that the equipment does not become part of the project at the end.

Without materials and building components, any construction project would be only a dream. So suppliers play the same important roles as architects and constructors. A user’s choice of material is based in the performance, durability（持久性） and aesthetic appeal（感染力，魅力）. But without the help of suppliers and their trade association, engineers will have no idea which materials to use; constructors have no idea which methods to assemble them.

Equipment also plays a very important role in construction. Highway jobs, large excavations, bridges, tunnels, and tall buildings all rely heavily on the use of equipment. Equipment supplier offers the equipment for sale or rent.

★Financial institute（金融机构）

Behind all the people who interact directly with the construction is a host of others who are involved. Before a project even starts, many issues must be resolved. Financing is certainly one of the biggest issues. Where the money comes from, how the funding is set up, and the terms and conditions of the funding all play a direct role in how the project will be managed. Many financial institutions are involved in funding construction companies, and some of the funding may come from government agencies as well.

★ ★Public agencies（公共机构）

Certain public agencies are interested in the project from a regulatory perspective. They have the authority to rule on the conditions of building and can deny the right to build if the project is deemed（被认为） not in the public interest. These agencies include Development and Reform Commission（发改委）, Urban and Rural Planning Bureau（城乡规划局） etc.

★Insurance company（保险公司）

In most cases, the project must be insured. Insurance comes from many sources. Some companies provide property insurance to the owner, liability insurance to the designer, and bonding insurance to the constructor. All the insurance issues must be discussed.（在大多数情况下，项目必须投保。保险有很多来源。一些公司为业主提供财产保险，为设计师提供责任保险，为建造商提供担保保险。所有的保险问题都必须讨论）

★Lawyers （律师）

When contracts are being prepared, companies often consult with lawyers before agreeing to any conditions. Lawyers advise their clients（客户） on ways to minimize liability（责任）, risk, and dispute resolution and help their clients negotiate these issues through contract language. When disputes emerge that cannot be solved by the project team members, the lawyers will often get involved again to interpret contract language and offer suggestions for resolving the conflict.

成功必须基于各方信任——Build on trust!  

（听力材料参考中英文：When we face our next challenge, we need each other. As we grow, we need to trust ourselves. We take a leap forward.
