1. What is Construction ?

2. Construction
 Construction is a very general term meaning the
art and science to form material or immaterial
objects, systems or organization, and comes
from the latin word constructionem (come-
“together” and struere “to pile up”)
 Construction is the process of preparing for
and forming buildings and building systems.
Construction starts with planning, design, and
financing and continues until the structure is
ready for occupancy.

3. Nine Types Of Construction:
1. Residential building construction
2. Light commercial construction
3. Multi-family construction
4. Health-Care construction
5. Environmental construction
6. Industrial construction
7. Commercial building construction
8. Institutional construction
9. Heavy civil construction

4. Examples:
skyscraper in Melbourne
The National Cement Share
Company ofEthiopia's new plant
in Dire Dawa.

5. Construction Practices for
Superior Quality
“They don’t build them like they used to.” “New
homes are put together too fast.”
Professional builders understand building
science and know how to build a home that not
only looks good, but is well constructed and
great to live in.
New homes are bright and comfortable year
round, save on energy costs and have good
indoor quality, and take full advantage of the
many advances in building products, materials
and system.

6. New construction techniques
and sustainability
As efficiency codes have come into effect in
recent years, new construction technologies
and methods have emerged. University
Construction Management departments are
on the cutting edge of the newest methods
of construction intended to improve
efficiency, performance and reduce
construction waste.

7. New techniques of building construction are
being researched, made possible by advances
in 3D printing technology. In a form of
additive building construction, similar to the
additive manufacturing techniques for
manufactured parts, building printing is
making it possible to flexibly construct small
commercial buildings and private habitations
in around 20 hours, with built-in plumbing and
electrical facilities, in one continuous build,
using large 3D printers.

8. In the current trend of sustainable
construction, the recent movements of New
Urbanism and New Classical Architecture
promote a sustainable approach towards
construction, that appreciates and develops
smart growth, architectural tradition and
classical design. This is in contrast to
modernist and short-lived globally uniform
architecture, as well as opposing solitary
housing estates and suburban sprawl. Both
trends started in the 1980s.

9. Construction of buildings and infrastructure
affects the environment in mainly 2 ways:
 Consuming resources
 Creating pollutants and waste
