Building Construction

Building construction is the coordinated process through which a planned building becomes work on site and a completed structure. Planning, permits, estimating, methods, sequencing, jobsite practice, and the organization of labor and materials shape that process. Commercial projects, specialty spaces, alternative dwellings, and ancillary structures involve different building types, with project definition, construction systems, safety, and quality connecting decisions across the work.
