INTRODUCTION
 Building construction means the demolition of

buildings, the construction of new buildings, the
construction of additions to existing buildings, and
the necessary alterations of existing buildings, to
make them conform to any new additions.

.How to do Planning of Building Construction?
1. Strategic Planning
Itpossesses a selection of project objectives.

Strategic planning is done by project owner’s
corporate planners.
2. Operational Planning
Priorto the project team’s preparation of a detailed

development schedule, they require to go through a
sequence of questions in order to prepare the
development master plan
Is the operational plan enough to meet the
strategic planning target date?
Are the development resources & services
achievable within the corporate enough to fulfill the
project objectives?
What is the impact of the new project on the
workload?
How can we handle any overload?
What company policies can resist the plan before
meeting the target date?
Are lengthy delivery equipments involved?
3. Scheduling
Itpossesses a detailed operational plan to attack a

time frame as per the planned objectives.
 rule within architectural context
In its widest sense, the term 'context' refers to the

circumstances or interrelated conditions that are
relevant to something that exists or occurs.
The topography of the area.

The site’s history and previous uses.
Local culture.
Architectural style.
Local materials and construction techniques.
Weather and microclimate.
Political conditions.
National and local policy.
The state of the economy.
Construction materials
Five Building Materials Commonly Used in
Construction
1. Steel
2.Concrete
3.Wood
4.Stone
5.Brick/Masonry
steel
 Steel is a metal alloy of iron and carbon often
other alloying material in its composition to make it
stronger and more fracture-resistant than iron
Steel has high strength-to-weight and strength-to-
size ratios.
It’s high-cost relative to other metals. Structural
engineers can consult on choosing the most cost-
effective sizes to use in a house to support the
actual load on the building.
Steel is less time-consuming to install than
concrete.
It can be installed in any environment
concrete
 Concrete is a composite material made of

fine and coarse aggregate (think gravel,
crushed stone, recycled concrete, and
geosynthetic aggregates) bound together by
a liquid binder such as cement that hardens
or cures over time
Strength varies depending on the mix.
Suppliers to the concrete industry usually
provide the materials used for their concrete
and test the concrete mix for its strength.
wood
It is readily available and an economical

natural resource.
Wood is relatively lightweight and easy to
standardize in size.
It provides good insulation, which is why
many architects and engineers like using it
for homes and residential buildings.
Wood has high tensile strength—keeping
its strength while bending—and is very
strong when being compressed vertically.
stone
Dry stone walls made of dense rock have

been used for thousands of years. Different
forms of mortar were later used to hold
them together.
Because it is so dense, stone can be
difficult to work with because of its weight
and the difficulty in moving it.
Stone is not an efficient insulator, since it is
difficult to keep warm.
brick/masonary
Masonry is durable and fire-resistant.

This method of construction is able to
resist compression loads, which makes it a
good material for load-bearing walls.
Reinforced with concrete, or in combination
with reinforced concrete, masonry can
support multi-story buildings, and can be an
economical choice.
While it is a strong method to use in many
types of construction, lasting masonry
installation can depend on the quality of
