the most important building material, playing a part in all building structures. Its virtue is its versatility, i.e. its ability to be moulded to take up the shapes required for the various structural forms. It is also very durable and fire resistant when specification and construction procedures are correct. Concrete can be used for all standard buildings both single storey
Internationally a few scientific and systematic studies have been carried out on cost overruns in building construction projects. Poor site management and supervision, unforeseen ground conditions, low speed of decision making involving all project teams, client-initiated variations and necessary variations of works have been identified as causes of time
America were first debated and adopted in 1776 and 1787 respectively. The artists wanted to express this monumental piece of history through drawing a replica view of the building as it was in 1926. He carefully chose the perfect angle that enabled the capturing of the entire front view of the building as well as the adjacent buildings. The drawing was drawn during winter season explaining the overall dullness of the picture. Snow cover and the cloudy sky are thus brilliantly expressed by the general
40% of the total global energy is consumed by buildings, as embodied energy during the construction phase and as operation energy during operation phase. Embodied energy includes a list of processes including building material production, on site delivery, construction and assembly on site, renovation and final demolition. Recent studies done by different agencies have considered the significance of embodied energy inherent in building materials. The initial embodied energy of various materials
Orleans, Orleans Parish, and Louisiana.” 2. When was this structure built? Construction on this building began in 1816 but after a fire its completion was delayed until 1817. The building soon became open to the public on December 9, 1817 for a concert. 3. Who had it built or designed the structure? The structure was built by Henry S. Latrobe and he was also the designer of the New Orleans Theater (a building with in the vicinity of this one) until a fire destroyed the structure. Soon after reconstruction
houses and lives were destroyed. Even though both places had damage, the money should go to Haiti. This is because Haiti was Poor Nation that would struggle to repair the damage on their own and since they were poor before the earthquake, their buildings all crumbled and they didn’t have a lot of resources to build their cities sturdy in the first place. With this money they can repair and rebuild and prepare for the next earthquake. The earth is split into 4 different layers with different properties

questionnaires to related parties which are the local contractors in Malaysia. 1.6 PROBLEM STATEMENT The Malaysian construction industry plays an important role in generating wealth to the country and development of social and economic infrastructures and buildings for the people in Malaysia (Adnan et al., 2012). The industry provides job opportunities for 800,000 people which represented 8% of total workforce (CIMP,
Abstract The construction industry is large and diverse, with lot of companies and professional bodies. This makes it thought-provoking to develop a common vision and priorities. Activities in the industry are always term as project and these projects must be procured and managed thus making the concept of procurement and project management inevitable in the construction industry. This paper will begin by briefly introducing the reader to the construction industry and try to find and give appropriate
CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION Delay is most crucial problems that may we face during construction project implementation. Delay is to make something happen at a later time than originally planned or expected or the not have ability to finish the project within the given time and budget to be a long lasting problem. Delay also can be described by the situation in which you have to wait longer than expected for something to happen, or the time overrun is within completion time that
