Building construction is an ancient human activity that began purely from a functional need to provide shelter from the elements. Over time, human beings have adapted to a variety of climates. The first human shelters were basic structures that did not last long. 

Now, more durable structures are available thanks to the development of durable construction materials, elaborate building techniques and processes, and improvements in construction labor. 

Building construction is a complex undertaking, irrespective of the type of building. Succeeding requires a lot of time, effort, and financial investment. The first step to a successful construction project is to develop an extensive plan.

The building construction process must be done step by step to ensure an efficient construction process. Consider important aspects such as the purpose of the building, finances, utility, and demand for work before starting the planning phase.
