INTRODUCTION
Constructional technology is considered as an important and crucial aspects to understand
and implementation of technical terminology. Construction work has become more advance and
unique over the different period of time. It has now start including technology as their main and
focal support and purpose. Addition of more and more techniques has led it to their main and
defined purpose to deliver best quality of the customer outcomes and results. This report will be
carried on the scenario in which the hotel complex projects needs to be constructed near to the
Heathrow international airport. There is a motorway in between construction site and
international airport. This whole project is completely based on discussion regarding the
residential, commercial and industrial buildings. It will put light on the sustainability in context
with building projects and terminology for the construction technology and projects. This report
will cover the various aspects of substructure and super-structure and their related pre-design
study and information required to be collected. The brief hotel plan says that a five storey hotel
will be made from the motorway near to the Heathrow airport crossing the river to reach to the
hotel construction site. This is the heavy and complicated projects to be conducted.
In this current time, conceptual design is required for possibilities to enhance
achievements of the construction-based goals and effectiveness and productivity. This report will
consider the making of the hotel which is one kilometre away from the Heathrow international
airport. In order to accomplish such targets and goals, it is necessary to determine and analysis
the file in accordance with proper structure and formulation of the construction products.
TASK 1
1) Describe the differences between residential, commercial and industrial buildings
Now a days, there are many examples of differences between the residential, commercial
and industrial buildings which is mentioned as below:
Residential Commercial Industrial
This is the type of building
which is developed and
constructed with the purpose
to provide the residential
This is the type of structure in
which commercial properties
are there to work upon for the
profit generation, welfare and
Industrial building is
considered as such structure
which provides the
manufacturing, production and
