INTRODUCTION
Construction technology is basically the collection of various innovative tools,
machineries, software as well as modifications which are being used during the process of
construction of a particular project which allows the advancement within construction methods.
The construction methods mainly includes semi-automated as well as automated construction
machineries and equipments. Along with this, construction technology is predominately the
collection of numerous CII research practices which deals with the technology applications as
well as opportunities for improving the performance of project within construction industry.
This report gives a brief about comparison between residential, industrial and commercial
buildings, functional characteristics and design selection criteria, strategies to promote
sustainability within building projects, types of information and pre-design studies, functional
criteria as well as design criteria for secondary and primary elements, techniques for re-
mediating site, types of substructure, Supply arrangements for primary services and distribution
arrangements for primary services.
LO1
P1 Difference between residential, commercial and industrial buildings
Residential Commercial Industrial
Residential buildings are small
in size and the equipments
used for the construction of
this buildings. The equipments
used are of smaller size this
also depends on the size of the
buildings, machinery used are
light machinery.
Commercial building are
comparatively bigger than the
residential buildings the
surface area is larger than that
of residential buildings.
Equipments used are quiet
bigger than that of the
residential building. Heavy
machinery is used.
Industrial building have bigger
area and bigger structures,
heavy equipments are used as
construction needs to be on a
larger scale.(Biryukova,
Paringer and Kupriyanov,
2016)

Material used for the
construction of commercial
buildings are light as its
construction requires a lighter
materials. Usually made out of
timber and lighter materials.
Lesser area needs to be
constructed as cheap
construction is carried out.
Residential buildings are more
affordable and easy to be
carried out(Brockmann,
Brezinski and Erbe, 2016).
Material used is bit heavy as
compared to the residential
buildings. Typically steel
frames are used for the
construction. As commercial
buildings are used for a long
term. Suppliers and
construction sites have a long
term relationship as the site of
construction are bigger and
last for almost 2 years.
Material used in industrial
buildings are heavy, the
substructure constructed is
heavy as heavy machinery is to
be implanted. The structure
made is of high carbon steel
and the material use like
cement used must be rapid
hardening cement which have
higher strengthen. RCC used
must be in the ratio of 1:1:1
which provides a strong base,
there must be strip footing
used to generate the stronger
base for the construction of the
buildings.
Permits required for the
construction must be legally
approved and the sites used
must not affect the nearby
workings. Residential
buildings are smaller in size
and the use of the buildings
must be for residential
purpose. .
Permits are required to carry
out the construction of the
buildings. Constructional
buildings must facilitate all the
legal procedures used for the
construction sites. They must
compete all the legal aspects
such as permission of lifts,
complex powers, permissible
parking and garages(Bryan,
2015).
Permits must be fulfilled and
the legal criteria must be
passed by the government as a
huge sum of money is required
for the making of the structure
legal agreements must be
carried out for the
development of legal structure
which will consists of heavy
machinery. It must be
developed within a span of
distance from residential
buildings. For a safer
environment.
