Construction :
Construction technology is defined as the usage of human, tools,
materials, and efficient management in construction.
Type of Construction Project :
In general, there are three types of construction: (1) building,
(2) heavy/highway, and (3) industrial. Each type of construction
requires a unique team to plan, design, construct, and maintain
the project.
Building construction
Building construction :
Building construction for several apartment blocks. The blue material
is insulation cladding, which will be covered later.
Building construction is the process of adding structure to real
property. The vast majority of building construction projects
are small renovations, such as addition of a room, or renovation
of a bathroom. Often, the owner of the property acts as laborer,
paymaster, and design team for the entire project. However, all
building construction projects include some elements in common
- design, financial, and legal considerations. Many projects of
varying sizes reach undesirable end results, such as structural
collapse, cost overruns, and/or litigatios reason, those with
experience in the field make detailed plans and maintain careful
oversight during the project to ensure a positive outcome.
Residential construction :
More and more families are looking into building their own homes,
or contracting to have them built. Construction practices, technologies,
and resources conform to state and local building codes.In most
Australian states, a home owners warranty must be obtained prior
to residential construction of dwellings less than three stories
high.
Heavy/Highway construction :
Heavy/Highway construction is the process of adding infrastructure
to our built environment. Owners of these projects are usually
government agencies, either at the national or local level. As
in building construction, heavy/highway construction has design,
financial, and legal considerations, however these projects are
not usually undertaken for-profit, but to service the public interest.
However, heavy/highway construction projects are also undertaken
by large private corporations, including, among others, the golf
courses, harbors, power companies, railroads, and mines, who undertake
the construction of access roads, dams, railroads, general site
grading, and massive earthwork projects. As in building construction,
the owner will assemble a team to create an overall plan to ensure
that the goals of the project are met.
