Construction Process

WHAT IS BUILDING CONSTRUCTION?

Building construction describes the sequence of events on a construction site that contributes to building or structure construction. The building construction process involves numerous stakeholders, including architects, engineers, contractors, suppliers and regulatory authorities, each contributing their expertise to make sure the project is completed efficiently, safely and to the specified requirements. It involves a lot of time and tedious work and must be managed carefully. This process can be split into various phases: pre-construction, construction, and post-construction.

Pre-Construction

This phase includes the planning which defines goals, budget and timeline. Architects and engineers design plans, while permits are pulled from government agencies and the project ensures it complies with regulations. There’s also a site analysis during this stage. Surveys are conducted, soil tested and environmental assessments are made.

Land Development

This phase is the process of changing undeveloped land into a more useful space for construction use. Development includes:

Vertical Construction

The construction process is divided into common divisions, each of which plays a critical role in delivering a functional and code compliant structure.

Post Construction

Once the structure is complete, the construction process is not. Post-construction is the final phase of a construction project, which involves completing all necessary tasks to hand over the building to the owner.
