Building construction technology is concerned with the technical performance of buildings, building materials, and building construction systems. Technological progress has introduced many innovations in the field of construction industry. The building construction technology covers a wide range of modern techniques and practices that encompass the latest developments in materials technology and their applications, design procedures, quantity surveying, structural analysis and design, the functioning of components and systems, procedures and details of building assembly; operating strategies and so on. The adoption of advanced construction technology requires an appropriate design, commitment from the whole project team, suitable procurement strategies, good quality control, appropriate training and careful commissioning. There is a difference between new and old traditional construction methods. The use of machinery and automation has made its way through the civil engineering and construction industry. Most of the building components such as columns, roofs and concrete blocks are available as prefabricated forms that increase the speed of construction process greatly. In the rapidly changing scenario of building sector, architects, engineers and builders should search for new construction technologies to adopt in future constructions that benefits like energy efficiency, resources and water conservation, improved indoor air quality, life cycle cost reduction, durability and low maintenance. Therefore, to attain these objectives, application and knowledge of latest advancements in various technologies are of prime concern. This book 'Advances in Building Construction Technology' contains six chapters which introduces various scientific methods and state-of-the-art building constriction technologies and systems that may be beneficial to architects, engineers, building scientists and construction industry professionals.

The book presents practical information about the design and construction of building projects by addressing the principles of each method, unveiling background factors for requirements, and state-of-the-art application details. Science and technology provide thousands of construction materials, vast construction methods, and various construction equipment and tools for realizing diverse architectural and engineering design projects. From market perspectives for new participants, the current construction practices are chaotic, having wide material and method options with globally available traders. On the other hand, within this global market, there is a growing awareness and need for practical information among society and new participants in the industry about general and globally available construction methods and technologies. Rather than focusing on materials, available construction methods, and technologies were described in the book content concerning their classification systems. The subjects and topics are represented in a well-structured hierarchy supported by clear and narrative figures. The book presents general design and application principles of construction methods and technologies without diving into engineering calculations and formulas to keep the content easily understandable by all AEC practitioners and participants. Instead, state-of-the-art construction applications were explained to unveil the logic and application requirements at the background of systems and methods. It also serves as a teaching tool for undergraduate students in architecture, engineering, and construction.
