Introduction: Advanced Construction Methods

Construction Methods

Construction methods are the procedures

and techniques that are used during the
building process.
Introduction: Advance Construction Methods

• Importance of construction technology in the design, production, delivery

and implementation of the project.
• The Construction timeline. Various phases of construction from
conceptualization to full project completion
• The composition of the project team.
Importance of Construction Technology

• Design >> Accuracy and Economical

• Production >> Less Resources Required
• Delivery >> Timely delivery
• Implementation >> Time and Cost Savings
