Notwithstanding the size of a building organization, there are just a few principal reasons that cause the lags in building quality. And these are the same reasons that lead to protection issues as well. Giving heed to the following four quadrants of quality control can result in a safer, more profitable, and more efficient construction […]
The 14 principles of management stated by Henry Fayol is one of the famous administration theory used in management. This is the basics of any powerful management tool used in an organization. The
The cost of construction of a undertaking is the main concern for most clients. Frequently, they ask about the cost of the undertaking and whether construction work can be executed at a lesser price or not. This question can be answered by several interlinked factors that control the entire cost of a building undertaking. They
Drones are one of the cutting-edge technologies of the modern world. Every industry has started incorporating the use of drones and is benefiting from this technological breakthrough. The construct
Pumpable concrete is a type of concrete transferred to a considerable height through pipes and used when a substantial amount of concrete is needed to be placed. The pumpability of concrete is influenced by several factors like cementitious materials, aggregate characteristics, admixtures, and batching and mixing of concrete constituents. Various cementitious materials such as fly
Facade retention is a approach of construction rehabilitation to bring changes to interior of the construction framework. Advantages of facade retention in construction construction is discussed. Lack of open sites to bring new buildings in the town and the cities as a part of development are often aggravated. It is hence found necessary for the
This building approach has become increasingly popular in the past decade for various reasons, and it is essential to understand its benefits and challenges. In today’s world, modular building provides a great opportunity for developers and builders to expand their projects with greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness. In this article, we will explore the advantages and
Groundwater causes extreme geotechnical problems in excavations such as sand running for most of construction projects such as tunneling. So, issues caused by ground water would increase construction budget and extend construction time unless the ground water is properly controlled which is the root cause of the problems. There are two major methods for controlling
Excavation monitoring system is used to provide safety during excavations for building works. Objectives and types of monitoring systems are discussed. Past excavations were carried out based on conservative design concepts and by using shallower excavation depths. This have resulted in construction calamities, even though they are fewer in number. But recent years have undergone
In the procedure for the estimation of brickwork in masonry building, two approaches – Centre-line, and Long and Short-wall methods – are used. While in the case of centre-line approach (in straight forward cases), the total length dimension remains unchanged with the width and height of the masonry courses (in footings, plinth, and superstructure) varying
