BUILDING
CONSTRUCTIONS
Building construction is the process of adding structure to real property. The vast majority of building construction projects are small renovations, such as the 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 structure collapse, cost overruns, and/or litigation. For this reason, those with experience in the field make detailed plans and maintain careful oversight during the project to ensure a positive outcome.
Building construction is procured privately or publicly utilizing various delivery methodologies, including hard bid, negotiated price, traditional, management contracting, construction management-at-risk, design & build and design-build bridging.
CATEGORIES OF CONSTRUCTION
Durable And Resistant
Residential construction may be undertaken by individual land-owners (self-build), by specialist house-builders, by property developers, by general contractors, or by providers of public or social housing (eg: local authorities, housing associations).
Non-Residential Construction
Depending upon the type of building, non-residential building construction can be procured by a wide range of private and public organizations, including local authorities, educational and religious bodies, transport undertakings, retailers, hoteliers, property developers, financial institutions, and other private companies. Most construction in these sectors is undertaken by general contractors.
Infrastructure Construction
Civil engineering covers the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including public works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, tunnels, airports, water and sewerage systems, pipelines, and railways.
