The english language is crap.... basically!
Why if we send something by truck is it called a Shipment, but if you send something on a ship it's called Cargo??

lol. I'll add to that...To differentiate buildings and other structures that are not intended for continuous human occupancy, the latter are called "nonbuilding" structures.
So! That means you would be building a nonbuilding and when the building of the building is complete, the building would be a nonbuilding!! ;o)
Wouldn't it be so much easier if your building became a "Built" at the end of the building process? :)
