  1. Building Materials: Types of Building Materials and their Uses

  2. Introduction • Building a house or getting it renovated is a ‘once in a lifetime’ task for most of the people. • Even for construction companies and builders, every project has its own risks and rewards associated and hence every project is unique in its own senses. • Amidst all these high risks and ambitions running on a construction project, how do you ensure that everything goes as planned? Simple – by micromanaging every level of the process. www.econstructionmart.com

  3. Materials Required In The Project • This micromanagement starts with understanding the varieties of building materials required in the project. • A project supervisor or home owner who is just starting out with building her maiden home, would depend on on-site workers or a purchase manager to buy materials as and when required. • A smart supervisor or homeowner will make a list of building materials and get in beforehand. www.econstructionmart.com

  4. 1. Steel: • Amidst all the varieties of building materials, steel is the most crucial one. • Steel serves as the fundamental material to build the entire structure right from its foundation, to all the way to its frame. • There are obviously alternatives available to steel; but none of them can provide long term cost benefits, malleability, space management options at the king of structural integrity which steel provides. www.econstructionmart.com

  5. 2. Wood: • There were times when wood was the building block of homes and is still used in some farm houses or outhouses. • That said, largely, wood is now used for doors, window panes and furniture. www.econstructionmart.com

  6. 3. Paint: • You can use all the interesting materials, but without the paint, the house will always look unfinished. • Paint is not just for aesthetic purposes, but also important in protecting the walls from harmful UV rays, leakages and seepages. www.econstructionmart.com

  7. 4. Cement, Concrete and Bricks: • Just like steel, this is one component without which a modern home will seize to exist. • Cement and concrete are great binding agents. • Many designers today are using them in interiors as well. • With exposed brick walls, bricks have become an aesthetic component from being a building block. www.econstructionmart.com

  8. 5. Tiles: • Many homeowners are choosing wooden flooring today. • There are still areas such as bathroom and kitchen walls, which require tiles. www.econstructionmart.com

  9. 6. Pipes and Wires: • There is no way that these would come in the same category; but they form the ‘nervous system’ of the house, giving its inhabitants the power and water they need. www.econstructionmart.com
