INTRODUCTIONConstruction technology can be referred to as a technique which is used for creation ofstrong and long lasting buildings. This helps civil engineers in constructing infrastructures byway of feasible tools and methods. Construction technologists develop any structure byfollowing various stages like designing, planning, constructing and managing buildings orinfrastructures like dams, airports, highways and bridges (Baoxing, 2015). In modern era, civilengineers have started making use of various hardware, software, tools and other necessaryequipments by which they can easily implement the construction of building. The present reportis based upon a scenario where a complex hotel building is being constructed by way of astructural and conceptual design. The location of building is ascertained to be 1 km away frommotorway. The structure of building will be a 5 storey hotel complex. This report will exploredifferent types of buildings along with techniques used for construction. Also, it discussesdifferent types of civil engineering infrastructure technology along with distribution of a range ofbuilding services along with their application in construction.TASK 1Differences between residential, commercial and industrial buildingsConstruction technology is considered as the valuable concept that helps in developingeffective construction building with the usage of timber, glass, concrete, metal, stones etc. It hasbeen analysed that there are numerous of project of construction which can only be done becauseof this technology as it helpful in delivering best effective services to customers according totheir requirement (Chew, 2017). There are mainly three types of construction building that iscommercial, industrial and residential buildings which are used for different purpose.Differences between all of these are described as below:Commercial buildingIndustrial buildingResidential buildingCommercial buildingcan be seen as placethat are used forcommercial purpose. Itincludes shoppingcentres, retail shops,Industrial buildings areutilised by organisationfor producing theirgoods and services.They are constructed insuch a manner that canResidential building aremainly utilised byindividual for livingpurpose with theirfamily members.
