Construction is the process of erecting infrastructure or buildings, encompassing tasks such as planning, design, and financial management of the project. Construction sectors typically include buildings, infrastructure, and industrial projects. Building construction further segregates into commercial or institutional buildings and residential structures. Essential steps in constructing buildings entail developing floor plans, excavating foundations, and erecting the primary load-bearing framework. Ultimately, various fields intertwine and interact to ensure structural integrity, financial viability, and compliance with legal standards throughout the construction process. This book studies, analyzes and upholds the fundamentals of building construction and its utmost significance in modern times. Such selected concepts that redefine this area have been presented in it. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this textbook will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of the subject
