Building Materials
8/24/2008
“Building material is any material which is
used for a construction purpose. Many naturally occurring substances, such as
clay, sand, wood and rocks, even twigs and leaves have been used to construct
buildings. Apart from naturally occurring materials, many man-made products are
in use, some more and some less synthetic. The manufacture of building materials
is an established industry in many countries and the use of these materials is
typically segmented into specific specialty trades, such as carpentry, plumbing,
roofing and insulation work.”
