This document discusses construction materials used in building homes. It covers different types of materials like steel, copper, granite, and ceramics. It explains that the choice of construction material depends on properties like strength, durability, and cost. The document then discusses materials suitable for different parts of a building like the basement, frame structure, outer walls, roof, windows, inner walls, and insulation. It provides fill-in-the-blank questions about the functions and properties required for materials in each part of the home.
