General Principles of Construction
The building has to resist gravity and remain safe throughout its design life. Every building consists of some common elements: foundations, floors,walls, roof, windows and doors, stairs and ramps, surface finishes, services. An integrated approach is very important for the success of the building project. It is impossible to consider the choice of, for example, a window without considering its interaction with the wall in which it is to be positioned and fixed. Masonry load bearing construction is well established in the building sector. It depends on the skills of the site workers and on wet trades, for example bricklaying and plastering. Quality control depends upon the quality of the supervision on site. In a typical load bearing wall construction the main loads are transferred to the foundations via the internal load bearing wall. The external skin serves to provide weather protection and aesthetic quality. Framed construction also has a long practice. The first frames of low rise buildings were made from timber. Later appeared iron and reinforced concrete frames. Three main materials are used for low-rise developments: timber, steel and concrete. Framed construction is better suited for prefabrication and off-site manufacturing than masonry load bearing construction. Dry techniques are used and quality control is easier because the production process is repetitive and a large amount of the work is carried out in a carefully controlled environment. Site operations are concerned with the correct placement and connection of individual component parts in a safe manner.
