Builders - Construction

Construction

Builders are used to work in manual labour, in construction.

Construction labourers

Construction labourers can be found on almost all construction sites performing a wide range of tasks. Can be found at building, highway, and heavy construction sites, tunnel and shaft excavations, and demolition sites.

Construction workers are employed in the construction industry and work predominately on construction sites and are typically engaged in aspects of the industry other than design or finance

A general contractor is an organization or individual that contracts with another organization or individual (the owner) for the construction of a building, road or other facility. General contractors conducting work for government agencies are typically referred to as prime contractors. The responsibilities of a prime contractors working under a contract are essentially identical to those outlined above. In many cases, prime contractors will delegate portions of the contract work to subcontractors.

Tasks

mix concrete using a portable mixer, pavement breakers

Many construction labourer jobs require few skills. Through training and experience, laborers can move into other construction occupations.

Construction trades
Bricklayer, tradesman who lays bricks to construct brickwork. Term also refers to personnel who use blocks to construct blockwork walls and other forms of masonry.
Carpenter, skilled craftsman who performs carpentry -- a wide range of woodworking that includes constructing buildings, furniture, and other objects out of wood. The work generally involves significant manual labor and work outdoors, particularly in rough carpentry.
Concrete finisher, tradesman who works with concrete, which includes placing, finishing, protecting and repairing concrete in construction projects.
A heavy equipment operator drives and operates engineering vehicles used in engineering and construction projects.
Electrician, tradesman specializing in electrical wiring of buildings and related equipment. Electricians may be employed in the construction of new buildings or maintenance of existing electrical infrastructure.
Painter and decorator, tradesman responsible for painting and decorating of buildings, and is also known as a decorator or house painter.

Steel fixer, tradesman who positions and secures reinforcing bars and mesh used to reinforce concrete on construction projects.
Steel erector, tradesman who installs structural steel frames of building and engineering projects. Components would usually have been prefabricated, including all welded joints.

In project architecture and civil engineering, construction is the building or assembly of any infrastructure on a site or sites. Although this may be thought of as a single activity, in fact construction is multitasking. Normally the job is managed by the construction manager, supervised by the project manager, design engineer or project architect.

In architecture, construction, engineering and real estate development the word building may refer to one of the following:

man-made structure used or intended for supporting or sheltering any use or continuous occupancy, or
Act of construction.
differentiate buildings and other structures, not intended for continuous human occupancy, the latter are called nonbuilding structures. Structural height in technical Usage is the height to the highest architectural detail on building from street-level. Depending on how they are classified, spires and masts may or may not be included In this height. Spires and masts used as antennas are not generally included.

Practice of designing, constructing, and operating buildings is normally a collective effort of different groups of professionals and trades.

Depending on size, complexity, and purpose of a particular building project, the project team may include:

real estate developer who secures funding for the project,
One or more financial institutions or other investors to provide the funding
Local planning and code authorities
A Land Surveyor who performs an ALTA/ACSM and construction surveys throughout the project,
Construction managers who coordinate the effort of different groups of project participants,
Licensed architects and engineers who provide building design and prepare construction documents,
Landscape architects,
Interior designers,
Other consultants,
Contractors who provide construction services and install building systems: such as climate control, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, security and telecommunications,
Marketing or leasing agents,
Facility managers responsible for operating the building.
Regardless of size or intended use, all buildings must comply with zoning ordinances, building codes and other regulations such as fire codes, life safety codes and related standards.
