ACTIVITIES GOVERNING CONSTRUCTION

All the activities involved in construction work together to create great projects, great buildings and impressive structures. Not all activities are used in every project, but no matter what the structure is, some different activities are certainly used to build a structure that is safe, efficient and functional for users.
Below are 11 types of construction activities.

1. Marking and Grading
Marking is one of the first construction activities to mark areas of the plot for reference. This keeps employees oriented to their workplace at all times. Ratings ensure that the building is level, has a long service life and provides maximum support. When building something, the foundation may require a slight slope or slope in special circumstances. In this case it is very important that the tilt is at the right angle. This is a safety issue and plays a big role in construction management. During grading, large machines are used to make sure the space is level or at the correct angle it should be.

2. Excavation
This is a fairly broad term and there are many different types of drilling operations. Generally, this involves removing soil and rocks from a particular area to prepare it for construction. This includes “basement excavation” where the ground is excavated in preparation for the construction of the basement. This includes excavating mud, rock and overburden, including removing material from the work area.

3. Concreting
Concrete pouring is also an important operation in construction. Widely used for building foundations, roads, bridges, pipes and many other applications. One of the reasons that concrete has become so popular in the construction industry is that it is easily mass-produced and changes state, making it easy to process and manipulate.
4. Carpentry
When most people think of construction work, the first thing that comes to mind is carpentry. General cutting and installation of materials used in the construction of structures. Tategu used to refer to people who dealt specifically with wood, but nowadays it means work with a variety of materials.
5. Brick Laying
Brick has been used in construction for decades and is still widely used today as a highly efficient material. The bricklayer lays the bricks and makes sure that the laying is stable. For example, stacking each brick on top of each other can cause cracks to form along the entire wall. Staggering the bricks, as you often see, reduces the chance of large cracks in the mortar.
6. Plumbing Work
Buildings that require plumbing have specific plumbing procedures that must be followed in order to function properly. This includes installing plumbing and equipment for both incoming potable water and outgoing waste.
7. Welding
Welding is the joining of two metals using heat. This is an important process in construction and is used especially for joining metals for structural purposes. There are many different types of welding that can be used depending on the type of metal and conditions. All welding jobs are highly specialized and can be difficult to master. It’s also dangerous, so it’s important that construction companies have strict safety guidelines in place.
8. Electrical Equipment
Individuals working as electricians for construction products are responsible for ensuring that the structure ultimately has unlimited access to power from transformers provided by the power company located near the building. 

9. Roof Laying

Roofing is an important construction activity for ensuring the protection of a structure from the elements, and can help provide stability for the structure. There are different methods used for roofing. Shingles are common for residential roofs, but there are also metal, polycarbonate, and steel roofs, as well as many others which are used for different purposes.

10. Glazing

This activity is basically anything to do with glass windows and doors in a construction project. The term is used broadly to reference the installation of pretty much any glass involved in the construction of a particular structure.

11. Finishing

Finishing in construction means putting on the final touches of a structure in order to prepare it to be used. This includes but is not limited to activities like glazing, flooring, painting, wallpapering, and plastering. It is most often about final aesthetic touches, and slightly less about safety and function, although all finishing activities are a crucial part of a final construction product.
