房屋建造(building construction)

裝配和修築建築物的技術和工業。早期人類主要用簡單的方式建造遮風避雨的處所。建築材料來自土地，建造受限於材料和施工者的技巧。施工的第一步是打地基，施工者安裝結構系統，結構材料（磚石、泥或原木）可用作骨架和圍牆。傳統的樑柱體系（post-and-beam system）最後被框架結構取代，施工者變成擅長用各種覆面（骨架外牆）和塗飾，來做封填與防火工作。鋼骨建築物通常用幕牆（curtain wall）圍蓋。在現代建築中，包覆建築物骨架只是個開始，各種專家自那時起就開始在內部大量施工，如安裝室內給排水設施、電子管線、HVAC（即供暖、通風和空氣調節配備）、窗、樓面覆面層（floor covering）、抹灰泥工作、線腳（裝飾線條）、瓦／磚和隔間等等。亦請參閱architecture。

building construction

Techniques and industry involved in the assembly and erection of structures. Early humans built primarily for shelter,using simple methods. Building materials came from the land,and fabrication was dictated by the limits of the materials and the builder's hands. The erection sequence involved,as now,first placing a foundation (or using the ground). The builder erected the structural system; the structural material (masonry,mud,or logs) served as both skeleton and enclosure. Traditional bearing-wall and post-and-beam systems eventually gave way to framed structures,and builders became adept at sealing and fireproofing with a variety of claddings (exterior coverings) and finishes. Steel-framed buildings are usually enclosed by curtain walls. In modern-day construction,sheathing the skeleton of the building is only the beginning; specialists then begin the bulk of the work inside,installing plumbing,electrical wiring,HVAC (heating,ventilating,and air-conditioning),windows,floor coverings,plasterwork,moldings,ceramic tile,cabinets,and other features.
