This module is designed to teach students the basics of building construction and the materials used in small to medium-sized projects. It focuses on understanding building elements, including both substructure and superstructure, and covers common materials such as concrete, masonry, timber, metal, and glass. Each material will be examined in terms of its production process, characteristics, and typical uses in construction. To meet the module's goals, students will participate in continuous assessments, including assignments and tutorial exercises.
