Construction News Special Reports

Construction is a broad term denoting the science and art of constructing physical structures, materials, or systems, and derives from Latin constructus and Old English hort, construct, and construction. To construct is also the verb: to build, and the prefix of the word is construction: what is being constructed. When used in the singular, it usually means to construct, while when used in the phrase construction, it usually means to build. A typical example of a construction term would be: I made a building myself. In this example, we are not specifying the material or structure that was made (I “made” a building myself), but the fact that the individual has created the building himself.

In our modern world, construction activities typically take place in many public works such as schools, stadiums, bridges, offices, roads, etc., and take many different forms. One typical type of construction project would be a stadium, which will host a major sporting event and other events. The word stadium usually refers to the actual building construction site, while the word event typically refers to the activity occurring on the construction site. Stadiums are typically open and air-conditioned; indoor stadiums have several pavilions for temporary activities and sometimes temporary buildings and apartments.

Another typical type of building construction activity is residential construction, which involves the construction of houses and other kinds of buildings intended for living. These are commonly known as apartment buildings, townhouses, condominiums, row houses, multi-family residences, etc. The term usually encompasses private housing, but sometimes may also include public housing. A condominium is an apartment building consisting of individual units. Typically, there are common areas, like the lobbies, entrance lobbies, elevators, stairways, hallways, etc. Common design features include internal partition walls, windows with sliding doors, open basement or cellar, skylights, HVAC systems with insulation, roof gardens, clubhouses, decks, pools, hot tubs, tennis courts, multiple story homes, detached buildings, garages, fire escapes, safety features, massing doors, and parking garages.
