Construction Work
Construction Work is work performed at a construction site in erecting buildings and structures.
Construction work may be general or specialized. General construction work is classified according to the
materials being used or processed or according to the structures being built as reinforcement placement,
concreting, earthwork, masonry, roofing, finishing, carpentry, piling work, erection and installation, and
other types. Specialized work includes waterproofing, heat insulating, sanitary-engineering work, and
electrical installation work. Some construction work is designated according to the parts or components
of the buildings and structures being erected, for example, cribbing, furnace work, and flooring, or
according to environmental characteristics, for example, winter work, underground work, and underwater
work. Depending on the work sequence, construction work is divided into two groups: preparatory and
principal work (the latter includes all general construction work). Ancillary work, for example, the
shoring of trenches, installing of scaffolding, lowering of the level of ground water, and compacting of
soil, and concealed work together constitute a separate category.
Each type of construction work consists of a series of separate but related construction processes.
Depending on the method used to conduct the work and on the complexity, these processes are classified
as integrated-mechanized, mechanized, and manual. In modern construction all the basic forms of heavy
and labor-consuming work, such as earthwork, concreting, and plastering, are usually performed by
construction machines or with the aid of power tools and accessories. Manual tools are used only when
unavoidable or for small volumes of work.
Construction work is usually carried out by a general contracting organization (general
contractor), which enlists appropriate organizations (subcontractors) to perform specialized work. The
activities of various construction divisions are coordinated by a system of network planning and control,
which also provides a production-line organization for the construction work as a whole. In order to
increase labor productivity, construction work should be performed in strict conformity with previously
developed plans for the organization of construction and individual operations. The completion dates and
the sequence of individual construction processes in the completion of a specified amount of work with a
given set of machines and tools are regulated by a special document called a flow chart. The quality
requirements for construction work and the regulations for the completion and acceptance of work are set
forth in the Construction Code.
