A building is commonly defined as a structure that includes both a roof and walls. The practice of designing such structures, which involves architectural, technical, and engineering principles, is known as building design. This process requires careful consideration of various factors, such as zoning regulations, environmental impact assessments, budgeting, scheduling, logistics, public disruption, and construction-site safety. The approach to building construction differs between residential and non-residential (commercial) projects, yet all projects typically involve three core phases: planning, design, and financing. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of building design and construction. It studies, analyzes and upholds the pillars of the subject matter and its utmost significance in modern times. This book is a complete source of knowledge on the present status of this important field.
