Construction and Building Materials

Construction and building materials are the components used to create structures such as houses, bridges, and buildings. These include natural resources like wood, stone, and sand, as well as manufactured products like concrete, steel, bricks, glass, and insulation. Each material has specific properties that make it suitable for different parts of a construction project, such as strength, durability, insulation, or flexibility. The choice of materials impacts safety, longevity, cost, and environmental impact. Proper selection and use of these materials are essential for building strong, safe, and efficient structures.
