    BUILDING SITE AND

    ORIENTATION
    BUILDING TYPES
    BUILDING SITE ORIENTATION
    • When designing and building a new house or
    building it is important to understand how
    location site and orientation of your home will
    affect.
    • A construction orientation is a critical first step
    towards ensuring everyone works safely while
    on site giving them the important information
    about hazards, safety risks, procedures,
    policies and all site specific information that
    they need to know about the specific
    construction site they are working at.
    Building Design
    • The term Building Types means or refers to the functional
    factors in architecture. Buildings are built for practical use
    (commoditas or utility). There are many types of buildings:

    • Residential Buildings
    • Institutional Buildings
    • Commercial Buildings
    • Educational Buildings
    • Agricultural Buildings
    • Infrastructure
    Residential Buildings:

    • A residential building is defined as the building


    which provides more than half of its floor area
    for dwelling purposes. In other words, residential
    building provides sleeping accommodation with
    or without cooking or dining or both facilities.
    The types of residential buildings are individual
    houses or private dwellings, lodging or rooming
    houses, dormitories, apartments and hotels.
    Example of Residential Building:
    Institutional Buildings

    • Institutional building simply refers to any structure


    that fulfills a role related to healthcare, education,
    recreation, or public works. Construction services
    teams that specialize in this type of work build
    everything from hospitals and elementary schools
    to athletic facilities and university buildings. In
    other words, institutional construction
    encompasses many of the buildings that matter
    most in the community.
    Institutional Buildings:
    Commercial Building:
    •
    Commercial buildings are buildings where commercial
    activities take place. Commercial buildings include office
    buildings, retail space, warehouses and more. This differs
    somewhat from commercial property, which also includes
    multi-family buildings like apartment buildings. The reason for
    this is that commercial buildings are where commerce
    happens, while commercial property earns money for its
    owners but doesn't have to have commerce happening in it.
    Multi-use buildings that have a mix of spaces, such as a retail
    area and apartments, can still be considered commercial in
    certain circumstances.
    Commercial Building:
    Educational Buildings:

    • Educational building means an establishment


    providing academic and/or technical
    instruction and may include supplementary
    school cafeterias, book stores, amusement
    activities, recreation facilities, instruction
    function, and community assembly use. This
    term refers to uses such as public and private
    schools and community colleges
    Educational Buildings:
    Agricultural building:

    • Agricultural building means any building or


    structure customarily used in connection with
    a farm other than a residence. Agricultural
    building means a structure designed and
    constructed to store farm implements or hay,
    grain, poultry, livestock, fruit, and other
    agricultural products.
    Agricultural building:
    Infrastructure:

    • Infrastructure is the set of fundamental facilities and systems that


    support the sustainable functionality of households and firms.
    Serving a country, city, or other area, including the services and
    facilities necessary for its economy to function. Infrastructure is
    composed of public and private physical structures such as roads,
    railways, bridges, tunnels, water supply, sewers, electrical grids,
    and telecommunications (including Internet connectivity and
    broadband access). In general, infrastructure has been defined as
    “the physical components of interrelated systems providing
    commodities and services essential to enable, sustain, or enhance
    societal living conditions” and maintain the surrounding
    environment.
