construction material
What structures need
Construction material is any substance used in building structures, from houses to bridges to roads.
Common examples include concrete, steel, wood, brick, glass, and stone, though the term encompasses thousands of specialized products like insulation, drywall, and roofing materials.
The phrase often appears in contexts of supply chains, building codes, and cost estimates.
