Political Influences On Construction And Development

If we want to analyse the political factors which impact upon the company we need to make a general view of the situation in the country. What are its law and requirements?

The aim of building regulations is to promote standards for most aspects of a building 's construction. This includes energy efficiency, water usage, fire safety, the needs of people, including those with disabilities in accessing and moving around buildings.

Everyone can have a temper at work and the main cause of it is if someone tells you that you are not doing it correct or you are not doing it their way. A manager or an employer is at their position because they have worked there long enough to know how it is done and also because they can take constructive criticism. No one wants to be told that they are doing the wrong thing or they are going too slow. When someone tells you that you need to do it a certain way it is because they are trying to help you succeed in the business. Few people realize this when it is said and others have to sleep on it and when they go to work the next time they try it their way and it usually helps them. The best advice I can give is always try to stay in a calm

Building codes set construction standards. Depending upon the local regulations builders are required to use particular methods and materials. Local building codes set regulations for fire codes, plumbing codes, electrical codes, etc. In Ohio (United States), for example, state law sets minimum building standards, but local governments can mandate additional requirements. Permits are issued to enforce building codes. Plans for building or remodelling a facility must be submitted to the local building department for approval. A permit is then issued if the plans comply with the codes. Inspections by local governmental agencies may be periodically conducted throughout the construction, renovation and completion phases. Stop work orders can be

Population development is an issue set to move us all, not only those in the construction industry. Population development will put amplified stress on the world’s resources, with physical space on behalf of one of the most precious resources on the planet. It’s up to the construction workers and the architects to understand how to use urban spaces more professionally and efficiently, accommodating additional people in luxury without reducing resources drastically. Expanding populations and increasing economies overseas are expected to have a knock-on effect on Britain's construction industry, too. Britain has a worldwide recognised ability for design, architecture and engineering, although, according to the 2025 strategy report, we’re yet

Industrialised Building System or IBS and often referred as pre-fabricated got its platform locally in the late of 1960 (Mohamad, Zawawi, & Nekooie, 2009). The system was gradually applied when the government endorsed it (Mohamad et al., 2009). Remarkable projects with IBS implementation has shown numbers of advantages. (Kamarul, azhari, mohd,2014) in their survey exposed the drivers to use IBS. Among the top were speed of construction, quality, skill and shortage while building regulations being the

All around the world people are taking advantage to turn their buildings into green buildings. Many

Last month Xi Jinping’s comment, “No more weird architecture" has caused an uproar in the construction industry: the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is organising expert discussions will likely strengthen the construction of public buildings in particular approval; local governments are actively discuss how to implement the spirit of the speech; at the same time, at least some public bidding projects have begun to be affected; Architects and developers have begun to debate,

Although various factors are barriers, this situation calls for a better ways of approaching the building activities that are environmentally sustainable. Building policies plays critical role in reducing environmental impacts although little research has been done as far as this sector is concerned. These policies should focus on codes for environmental sustainability of building designs that establishes better planning practices, designing as well as constructing buildings with environmental concerns of the impacts of the build structures (Davies, 2004).

Green buildings will become one of the main factors to preserve our rapidly decaying environment. There is not an easy way to define a green building. Essentially, a green building is the effort of amplifying the positives and mitigate the negatives throughout the entire life cycle of a building (Kriss, 2014). There are many definitions for green buildings, it is widely known as the planning, design, construction, and operation of a building while taking into huge considerations of energy use, water use, indoor air environment, materials used and the effect it has on the site. The first green buildings dates back to as far as the 1970’s, when solar panels went from experiments to reality. Green buildings were not as popular as they are todays due to extremely high pricing. With technology rapidly growing, solar panels became cheaper and cheaper, making it more affordable. This is the primary reason for the blooming of green buildings today. A modern leading company named LEED, Leadership in energy and environmental design, focuses primarily on new and effective ideas for environmentally friendly buildings projects. With more than 60,000 commercial projects worldwide and 1.7 million square feet certifying every day, they are one of the leading groups for green buildings. LEED has built an entire green building industry, and will have a net worth of $248 billion (Kriss, 2014). Green buildings will still emit carbon dioxide gases and cause some kind damage to the land; they

Gou, Prasad & Lau (2013) argued that green revolution is happening in the construction industry as a reaction for severe and irreversible climate event. Most of industries are beginning to recognize the impacts of their activities on the environment and to make considerable changes to mitigate their environmental impact, for that reason the construction industry has recently begun to acknowledge their responsibilities for the environment, resulting in a shift in how buildings are designed, built, and operated. (Smith, Fischlein, Suh & Huelman, 2006). According to Fischer, (2009) Green buildings are integrated building practices that significantly reduce the overall impact of a structure, human health and its surrounding environment in comparison to standard practices.

Abstract: With the development of the city construction, the investment in construction is increasingly expanding. However, the construction is large-scale and the number of construction project still under construction is amazing. The projects quality problems have taken place on a national scale with some extent of the damage. In order to ensure the construction projects went well, it is necessary to strictly supervise the whole process of construction project from supervision department. Keyword: construction supervision, construction quality, the develop actuality.
