Explores the technical issues associated with building types for public use, including building structure, construction materials and techniques, and cost planning and specification. It is aimed at developing students understanding of the implications of using alternative materials for structural systems; an understanding of construction design and detailing; and an appreciation of the selection and design of foundations in response to specific ground and soil conditions.

On completion of this course students should be able to: 1. Demonstrate knowledge of the ground and soil conditions, materials, systems and components used in the construction of commercial buildings; 2. Demonstrate knowledge of the techniques used to incorporate them into building, including sequencing of operations; 3. Evaluate design alternatives in terms of buildability and cost; 4. Communicate design alternatives using drawings reflecting the statutory standards.
