Construction Tech 1

What is the purpose of foundation in construction?

• To add aesthetic value to the building.

• To provide insulation for the structure.

• To create additional storage space for the building.

• To provide a stable base for the structure and distribute its weight evenly to the ground.

What is site preparation in construction?

• The process of clearing and grading the land before construction begins.

• The process of adding finishing touches to the building

• The process of designing the layout of the building

• The process of installing utilities after construction is complete

Why is site preparation important before construction?

• To add unnecessary steps to the construction process

• To make the construction process more difficult

• To waste time and money

• To ensure stability, level ground, and remove potential hazards or obstacles.

What is framing in construction?

• The process of adding decorative elements to a building or structure.

• The process of installing windows and doors in a building or structure.

• The process of creating the basic structure or skeleton of a building or structure using wooden or metal beams and columns.

• pipes, valves, faucets, and fittings

• cables, wires, connectors, and switches

• studs, plates, headers, and braces

• bolts, screws, nails, and washers

What is the purpose of structural systems in construction?
