How are buildings constructed?

Question

Sorry, another question for my report
I would find it very helpful if you can help me!

Answer 1

Hmmm you should be more specific in what kind of building, e.g. residence, skyscraper.
All building start with a footing (foundation). This provides a surface upon which to construct the framing. For a skyscraper, the footing foundation is usually placed on bedrock. For a residence the footing is placed on undisturbed subsoil.

Next the framing is assembled. For a residence this consists of dimensional lumber (2"X4", 2"x6", 2"x8" ETC. nailed together. Sometimes steel framing is used. For a skyscraper, "I" beams are assembled using welding or rivets.

After the framing is completed or during the framing, the sub floor is put inplace. For a residence, the sub floro is plywood and it is nailed to the framing. For a skyscraper, the flooring may be poured in place concrete over steel forms.

Next, the sheathing or exterior surface is attached to the framing. For a residence, this is usually plywood or particle board. For skyscrapers, the sheating may be glass, concrete or composite panels attached to the framing. For a residence, some form of finshing material is attached to the sheating e.g., clapboards, shingles. During the sheating process, the roof is usually shingled and/or waterproofed.

Lastly, the interior plumbing, electrical wiring, sewer systems are installed. Insulation and the interior surfaces are attached to the framing, painting and trim comes last and then the fixtures (lighting, sinks, toilets, outlets, etc are installed.

Answer 2

Steel or wood? Piece by piece.
Concrete, build a mold, place reinforcement, and pour in the wet mix.
