House Construction –
To build a house means that the contractors construct and assemble the
different components of the house according to the construction
documents. The building process starts with clearing the ground where the
house will be located. Then, working horizontally, an excavator machine
digs the ground to lay the foundation. Next, the vertical columns and
exterior walls are placed on top of the foundation. The vertical
constructions are supported by connecting them with horizontal beams
called joists to form the mainframe of the house. Now that the mainframe
is ready, the contractor uses plywood to build the floor levels and the roof.
The doors and windows are installed in the final steps, and the house is
equipped with plumbing and electrical systems.
