Description
Summary:Construction materials are crucial for the safety and longevity of structures, as they must withstand environmental conditions and be durable. Adherence to stringent standards and regulations is essential for materials like concrete, steel, wood, bricks, and composites. Common defects include manufacturing flaws, storage issues, non-compliance with standards, and variability in quality. To minimize quality problems, rigorous control techniques like material testing, visual inspections, performance testing, and certifications are applied. Proper finishing enhances aesthetics, durability, and performance, while surface preparation, installation, and maintenance are critical for plumbing and electrical systems.
