Introduction:
Design and planning are among the most important stages of construction, as they contribute to determining the shape and function of the building or facility to be constructed. These stages are executed using various skills and methods that help achieve the desired goal.
Design:
The design process for buildings and facilities is carried out before the construction process begins, and it includes several stages, including:
1. Identifying requirements and goals:
In this stage, the necessary requirements for the building or facility to be constructed are identified, and the desired goals to be achieved from this building or facility are determined.
2. Preparing engineering plans and designs:
After identifying the requirements and goals, engineering plans and designs are prepared that determine the shape and function of the building or facility to be constructed. This engineering design includes several aspects such as architectural design, structural design, electrical design, and mechanical design.
3. Choosing the appropriate materials:
In this stage, the appropriate materials are selected to implement the approved engineering designs, where materials are selected based on their properties and suitability for the intended purposes.
Planning:
The planning process for buildings and facilities is carried out during the construction process, and it includes several aspects:
1. Identifying the necessary resources:
In this stage, the necessary resources for carrying out the construction process efficiently are identified, including the required workforce, materials, machines, and tools needed to perform the work efficiently.
2. Scheduling operations:
In this stage, a time schedule is determined to carry out the necessary operations for construction efficiently and smoothly, including identifying the sequence of operations and tasks needed to complete the work on time.
