One of the most important steps in the construction is a reasonable strategy and planning. At this point, the most important detail is choosing the construction materials.
Importance of Materials in Building Constructions
The building materials used have great importance at this stage. The quality of these materials, unit prices, dimensions, number of pieces and the place of the company from which the materials will be bought in the market is a great factor for the materials to be chosen.
Especially the building materials to be chosen are the predictive factor for price and performance. For the construction works to be done, first, the architect to design the project determines the type of construction materials to be used. Afterwards, the research which involves the above-mentioned elements is made by the engineers working on the project and the amount of materials to be bought is determined.
When choosing the building materials to be used, the contents of the materials should be researched and checked. It should be determined carefully by the professionals whether they are safe or not, and whether they have damaging content.
For example; the necessary research is made to determine if there are any elements which endanger the safety of the workers operating on the constriction, any chemicals which would damage their health, as the damaging content.
Materials Used in Building Constructions
The relevant experts who will build the construction should pay the necessary attention when choosing the rock, clay, gravel, sand, stone, stone chips, cement, lime, iron, briquette, concrete blocks, reinforcing irons, concrete nail, mosaic annealed wire and all other materials.
On the mentioned subject, the required specifications for the materials to be used have been indicated to the finest detail in the General Technical Specification of the Ministry of Public Works in our country.
The categories of materials used in the constructions in our country are presented as: Insulation Materials, ceramic, brick, tile, iron, steel, plaster, aluminum, pipe, illumination, wood, paint, elevator, glass, cement, nail, heating, cooling, ventilation, lime, natural stones, elevator and ready-mixed concrete.
The Required Specifications in General;
Price and Performance Ratio,
-The highest performance to be obtained,
-Ease of supplying from the market, storage and maintainability,
-Warranty certificate and long warranty period,
-Containing all the elements the Ministry of Public Works requires for construction materials,
The quality, warranty, durability of these materials have a great importance in terms of the construction made, the society and the country.
The subject construction materials should be resistant to earthquakes, humidity, floods, any natural disasters to come forth absolutely.
