  11 Important Factors to Consider When Choosing a Building Site   The process of designing and building a commercial or residential building does not begin immediately. There are numerous critical factors and stages that must be followed in order to have the perfect or ideal building that fits your lifestyle. The site selection process is one of the most important stages to consider. Most construction engineers, homeowners, and architects are unconcerned about this. It is, however, the most important aspect of all the processes that contribute to the success and satisfaction of the act of planning and constructing a building. In the same vein, the process of selecting a site can be quite difficult for many people, particularly those who are unfamiliar with site survey or analysis. It is not only about visiting the site and conducting an inspection; it is also about becoming aware of all the unique features of the site, which will give you a good idea of how to begin y...

  Site selection criteria for commercial building construction The following are a few factors to consider when choosing a location for a commercial building. 1.        Location. 2.        The regional climate. 3.        Raw material availability. 4.        Cost and timeline. 5.        The region's population. Location: The value of a commercial building is determined by its location, whether it is in the centre of the region, on the outskirts, on the main road, or off the main road. A good commercial building should be located on a main road in the region's centre. Availability of raw materials: Commercial buildings typically require more construction materials than a typical residential house. So, prior to the construction of a commercial building, it must be ensured that raw materials are readily available. Othe...

Surveying | what is surveying | surveying definition Surveying is a crucial branch of civil engineering as a result of it's the primary step in beginning a new civil engineering project. A student should rigorously study the basics of surveying techniques so as to know them. to start learning surveying, one should initial perceive what measurement is and why it's vital. Surveying Surveying is the process of determining the relative position of various features on, above, or beneath the earth's surface using direct or indirect measurements and then representing them on a sheet of paper known as a plan or map.     The technique of establishing points by predetermined angular and linear measurements is also included in surveying. The area and volume of a specific plot of land can be calculated using surveying plans, sections, and maps. A map depicts the horizontal projection of the surveyed area rather than the actual area. The vertical distance, on the other hand, c...

  Basic knowledge of Civil Engineering The following are some basic civil engineering points for civil engineers to remember in order to make construction work easier while maintaining construction quality: ·          The slab's minimum thickness should be 125 mm. ·          A maximum height of 1.50m is permitted for concrete freefall. ·          Lap splices must not be used on bars larger than 36 mm in diameter. ·          The water absorption of bricks is limited to no more than 15%. ·          The PH value of the used water should not be less than 6. ·          Bricks have a minimum compressive strength of 3.5 N/mm2. ·          Steel reinforcement requires 8 kg of binding wire per metric ...

Introduction We are going to talk about What Civil Engineering is, what is the purpose of the career and what kind of work civil engineers do. So what is Civil Engineering? Civil engineering involves facilities, installations that people generally use, so this means that the profession involves finding out what is required and making it happen. So, it includes the analysis, planning, design, construction and maintenance that is the whole life cycle of different facilities that people use. These could be government facilities, these could be for businesses, industries like factories, shop floors and so on and facilities that are used by the general public like bridges, roads and other such installations. So, here we see some examples of facilities that are created managed by civil engineers, high rise buildings, office towers, residential buildings, factories, schools, airports and other transportation facilities like tunnels subways and also ...
