Construction and Demolition

Construction is the biggest and often most difficult part of building. It is starting from scratch and creating a building. In this process is all the designing, then the engineering and then also man and project management. All this must be done under the constraints of budget, time and regulations.

Construction can vary from building a simple house to large scale apartment blocks. In the process of construction many jobs need to be completed often by skilled people who are trained in that specific area. These include engineers, designers, project managers and then workers who will actually carry out the work like brick layers, plasterers. In all these different areas of work as well it is also possible that there will be different regulations to adhere to. Sometimes these regulations can clash with each other. Overall the general aim of construction is to multitask well and plan the project. Those with more experience are better equipped and are used to problems and know how to deal with them as they arise.

The way to grasp at who successful a company has been in the construction area is by checking their portfolio which will show the work that they have completed. It will show the standard to the work and how well the project went. Combined with references from customers you will be able to build a picture of the companies you wish to use.

As well as construction, on the opposite end of the spectrum is demolition. Demolition is a varied field as well. It can just mean manual demolition with some machines or large scale implosions with the use of explosives. Again skilled staff are needed for this final process in a buildings life cycle. Whether it is to prepare for the demolition. Carrying it out or cleaning up the debris after the demolition has taken place. There are many regulations again these also include checking for asbestos.
