construction techniques
Ways to build
Construction techniques are the methods used to build structures—from foundation laying to framing to finishing.
The term encompasses both traditional approaches like timber framing and masonry and modern methods like prefabrication and poured concrete.
The architect specified construction techniques suited to the local climate.
Different techniques suit different materials, budgets, and building types.
