Site planning is a design tool used to determine an appropriate development outcome, based on an analysis of the development site’s constraints. The opportunities and constraints inherent to a site

Value engineering can be defined as a set of systematic tools and creative methodologies adopted by a construction project team to rectify constraints of costs, quality, and scope. Value engineering represents solutions that can be implemented in a construction project to optimize costs, improve functional performance, and achieve high-quality work. Based on the interpretation of

Many considerations need to be accounted for while setting the layout of the construction site, for example, considerations for site access, offices and accommodations, storage area, plants, tempor

Valuation of building or property is the method of calculating the present marketable cost of a building. Valuation of a building depends on the sort of building, its framework, durability, location, size, shape, the width of roads, frontage, types and quality of building materials used and the cost of these materials. Valuation of a building

Certain conditions may be encountered during sewer sanitary pipe system construction. So, special methods and considerations for sewer pipe construction in these cases is discussed.

Construction Engineer’s main job is to supervise the construction operations. To manage the job, he or she would require an understanding of the main tools that a Construction Engineer needs

CPM and PERT in construction projects are the instruments used for efficient management of activities. CPM is Critical Path approach and PERT is Program Evaluation and Review Technique. The Critical Path approach (CPM) was first used during the overhauling of a chemical plant in United States in the year 1950 by Morgan R. Walker of

Further to my article “Safety – a very first tool of a Construction Engineer,” I want to talk about Quality as another priority a construction engineer owns on a project site. It gives

Fine-grained concrete, also known as sand concrete, is defined as the concrete in which the coarse aggregate is replaced by sand or any filler substance. The maximum size of fine aggregates used in fine-grained concrete is 10 mm. Fine-grained concrete is gaining popularity in modern construction due to the following features: This article explores the

A group of researchers at Britain’s Lancaster University used nanoparticles from root vegetables like carrots to produce stronger concrete. They found that the strength of the concrete increased by 80% by using smaller amounts of carrot extract. Celluloses from carrots are being studied as part of a research to contribute to a much stronger and
