Email is a type of written communication used to convey a message to civil engineers during a job or at home. The advantage of using an email is that it is free and fast. Additionally, an email message can be sent from multiple devices in various locations. Furthermore, the same message can be received by multiple people and this helps to save time. For example, the project leader can send messages to everyone involved in the project reminding them of their tasks or anything related to the work. However, it can be time consuming as written messages need to be written carefully so that they can be clear and concise and therefore be easily understood by the recipient. Additionally, it can cause confusion as some people may not read the email that has been sent to them or may not understand what is written in the message. A report is another type of written communication used by civil engineers in the role of managers as it is useful to managers to help solve problems and make decisions. The benefit of using a report would be that it provides valuable information to people taking on managerial roles to help them make the best choice. For example, it can provide information about employees' work performance and the behavior of certain individuals or groups which can allow the manager to have sufficient data whether their employees are working efficiently. However, a relationship can be unfair and producing it can be wasteful
