Σύνοψη

CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING is an interrelated complex of operations whereby buildings and installations are erected.
The end product of construction engineering, is finished
buildings and installations. In contast to industrial
production, the produce in construction is stationary whereas builders and working tools (machines, mechanisms, equipment)
move as required.
CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS, may be classified according to production methods (e.g. formwork, erection, heat insulation,
etc) or by the kind of materials to be processed (earthmoving, masonry, concreting and others).
According operations may auxiliary.

A working peration consists of working procedures which
are basic components of the building process. An example of a building process is digging foundation pits by excavations.
The working operation is then filling excavator buckets with soil, and the working procedure is manipulating the controls.

of construction should ensure a specified rate of construction

Despite a relatively large pool of construction machines
and mechanisms and a high level of prefabrication used in
buildings and installations the proportion of manual labour in
construction practice remains approximately 50%.
Manual labour in construction is being mechanized
indirectly through transfer of a great number of construction
processes from building sites to prefabrication works, and
directly by continually supplying construction sites with
new, more efficient machines and small mechanized devices on a large scale.
