This document outlines key considerations for building construction projects. It discusses getting detailed plans from architects and engineers, checking permits and regulations with local authorities, determining an appropriate budget, hiring reputable contractors, implementing safety protocols, setting a realistic timeline, minimizing environmental impact, preparing for potential challenges, and ensuring the design aligns with the structure's intended long-term use. The main parties in the construction sector are architects, engineers, contractors, and laborers who work together using plans and specifications to erect buildings.

1. BASICS OF BUILDING
CONSTRUCTION
PART 1. Things to consider before the construction work
begins

2. What is BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
• Building construction means making buildings and
houses by putting different materials and parts
together using plans made by architects and
engineers.

4. Main parties in building construction
sector

5. THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE STARTING A
CONSTRUCTION
• Design and Plans: Have
detailed architectural and
engineering plans in place. These
plans outline the layout, structure,
and specifications for the project

6. THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE STARTING A
CONSTRUCTION
• Permits and Regulations: Check with local authorities to understand
the necessary permits and regulations for your construction. This includes zoning,
building codes, and environmental requirements

7. Budget:
• Determine how much money you
have available for the project and
ensure that it covers all the expenses,
including materials, labor, permits,
and unexpected costs

8. Contractors and Labor
• Choose reputable contractors and
skilled laborers who are experienced
in the type of construction you're
undertaking. Good communication
and coordination are key

9. THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE STARTING A
CONSTRUCTION (continues…)
• Safety Measures: Implement safety protocols and measures to protect
workers and ensure a secure construction environment
• Timeline: Set a realistic timeline for the project, considering factors like
weather, availability of materials, and labor. Delays can impact the overall
schedule

10. Environmental Impact
• Consider the environmental impact of
the construction process and explore
ways to minimize waste and energy
consumption

11. THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE STARTING A
CONSTRUCTION (continues…)
• Unforeseen Challenges: Be prepared for unexpected issues that may
arise during construction, such as weather changes, material shortages, or design
adjustments
• Future Use: Think about the long-term purpose of the structure and how it
will be used. Design and construction decisions should align with its intended
function
