What year was colaseum built?

Depends on which one... Rome Colosseum: Construction began under Emperor Vespasian around 72 AD but was completed and dedicated around 8 years later in 80 AD by Vespasian's son, Titus. Officially named the Flavian Amphitheatre, the Colosseum got its nickname, from Nero's nearby colossus, a 120 ft. tall statue of himself. I believe this is the first one. Others include: Fort Wayne Coliseum: Ground breaking, January 24, 1950. Opening, September 28, 1952. Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA: Construction on the arena began on May 24, 1968 and the venue opened in 1970 L. A. Coliseum: commissioned in 1921 as a memorial to World Way I veterans but rededicated to all veterans in 1968. The ground breaking ceremony took place on December 21, 1921. Construction work was completed in about 16 months, on May 1, 1923. Nassau Coliseum: Ground breaking, January 20, 1969. Opening date, February 11, 1972. Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum: Ground breaking, April 15, 1964. Opening, September 18, 1966. Portland Memorial Coliseum: Ground breaking, February 4, 1959. Open, November 3, 1960.

What is advance payment in construction?

What is commencement of construction?

Commencement of construction could also be called a "Notice to Proceed", which is an official construction document permitting a company to begin work on a construction project. Most often, the date on this document is the date at which the clock starts for the finish of the project. Most construction schedules are set to begin from the signing of this document and the first activities are based upon having this in hand. Disagree. A notice to proceed in your hand does not determine that anything other than that has occurred. Intentions to proceed do not rise to the level of actual construction. A document in hand does not permit a reasonable person to conclude any construction has occurred. Commencement of construction implies the physical nature of construction as differs from the many planning stages of construction. Commencement of construction would begin from the point of excavation, having a building permit in hand, and continuing on a daily or regular basis until completion. PLANNING IS NOT THE SAME AS CONSTRUCTING.
