INTRODUCTIONConstruction technology can be defined as the study of civil engineers who are mainlyaimed at developing a complete structure of building with the help of using various techniquesand machines used in construction. In simple words, construction is referred as a project which isaimed at development of a building for a specific purpose such as residential building, industrialconstruction and commercial work place. Construction of the different types of structures variesin design and main structure of the building. This study will help in making clear understandingabout the implementation of the construction practices that are aimed at development of acomplex hotel which is situated near motorway that have to be interlinked with the internationalairport in UK. The report will lead the construction practices of a complexed site. The study haveclearly described the establishment of the commercial buildings that are intended to do all suchactivities which helps them in generating profitability by exchanging goods and services toconsumers.This research will also help in creating an understanding about developing a 3D structureof the building that helps in visualising the appropriate design or framework of the buildingaccording to the requirement of the customer. It will also help in understanding the concept ofconstruction which starts with the estimation of various factors such as cost of the site, rawmaterial required, user requirement, analysing the purpose of developing a building etc. TASK 1 INTRODUCTIONDifferences between residential, commercial and industrial buildingThe construction industries contributes major part in the economical development of thecountry and this constructing the building can be determined as one of the important aspects thathelps the society in differentiating types of construction. Structure size and interior of thebuildings may vary according to the purpose of the constructive site ( Ohori and et.al., 2018 ).Managers of the construction site initially identifies the main purpose of the developing abuilding and then they design the main structure of the building according to the requirements ofthe user. These buildings may varies in different types of construction which can be furtherdescribed as:Residential building These buildings are aimed at developing the homes of the people which provides a properresidential place to them so that it provides convenient living facilities to them. Such1

developments are generally occurred according to the needs of the customers. As these buildingsconsists of living room, Cooking space, bathing space etc. engineers estimates the the cost of theproject according to the development of the floors and material needed to build a structure.Commercial buildingsThese buildings are developed with the main intention of performing commercialactivities. These building may be referred as offices, commercial working space, complexes andall such building that allows the dealings of goods and services in order to gain profitability.Commercial buildings are those places which provides the facilities to exchange the products andservices in order to sustain the development and growth of the organisation (Suthersan and et.al.,2016 ). commercial buildings supports all such commercial practices which are involved inbusiness deals that are aimed achieving the main objectives and profitability.Industrial buildingThese constructions are held with the special perspective that are aimed at performing allthe industrial works and such practices are mainly involved in production of the commodities.These constructions generally done in order to produce goods and services from the industrywhich then passes to the commercial buildings in order to proceed their further supply chain withthe intention to provide customer consumption facilities. Such construction carry outmanufacturing and production tasks within the building. Such buildings are developed with themain intention of building large open space and a big chimney that throws out all the carboncontent produced while manufacturing the goods (Park, Jee, and Jeong, 2014). Contractor keepsa basic view of building large spaces that ensures the proper functioning of the tools andmachineries involved in development.Various ways that helps in sustaining the building projectsConstruction projects can be developed with the great observation as this practicesinvolves a expertise skills and knowledge in order to develop a building. To strengthen the mainplinth of the building that is followed by different floors above it, so contractor have to considervarious different types of factor such as appropriate mixture of cement and sand that helps indeveloping proper structure for construction.The increasing globalisation and technical development has alarmingly raised the concerns forenvironment sustainability. The rapidly growing buildings and construction sites are creatingadverse impact on the environment which affects the air quality as well as surrounding resources2
