The average person will not have an idea about the amount of work that went into building his house, the school he attended, the offices he goes to work at, the mall he shops in or the many different varieties of buildings that he visits in his every day life.
Building construction is not simply about the erecting foundations and cladding walls. Many different engineering disciplines are involved, including:
- Civil Engineering
- Architecture
- Mechanical Engineering
- Electrical Engineering
- I.T. (for smart buildings and automation)
In a typical construction project, the exterior and interior designs have to be prepared and finalized, the soil upon which the building will be erected has to be investigated for appropriate foundation design, detailed civil drawings have to be finalized checking for everything from structural integrity to aesthetic conformity, the mechanical drawings and designs have to be completed with all details from sanitary functions to air-conditioning taken into account and the electrical schematics have to be drawn up with an infinite amount of details such as lighting and outlets and loads considered before the building construction can be commenced and completed. We have not even mentioned the finishing yet.
Can you imagine the sheer amount and level of detail that has to be addressed to finish a building? From wall treatment to door handles, from bathtubs to electrical switches, every detail has to be planned, approved and perfectly executed lest the smallest aesthetical flaw compromise all the hard work that has been expended.
