The first houses were built for the purpose of protecting their owners from the weather and, therefore, were very simple—a roof to keep off the rain or snow, and walls to keep out the wind.
The buildings erected now can be divided into two broad classifications: they are either for housing or for industrial purpose.
As far as the material is concerned, the building can be divided into stone (or brick), wood and concrete types. The brick is an artificial material made of clay then burnt to harden it. The natural stone (rubble masonry) is used for footing and foundations for external walls carrying the load. The buildings made of stone or brick are durable, fire-proof and have poor heat conductivity.
The tiers or levels which divide a building into stages or stories are called floors. These may be of timber but in stone buildings they are made of ferroconcrete details in great and small sizes.
The coverings or upper parts of buildings constructed over to keep out rain and wind and to preserve the interior from exposure to the weather, are called roofs. They should tie the walls and give strength and firmness to the construction.
Every building must be beautiful in appearance and proportional in various parts. The interior should be planned to suit the requirements of the occupants while the exterior must be simple without any excesses.
Any building should be provided with water, electricity, ventilation and heating system. Getting water into the house is called plumbing. The plumbers have also to get the water out after it has been used. The first part of this problem is called water supply and the second one is called drainage or sewerage.

Работы по строительству

Первые дома строились с целью защитить их владельцев от погодных условий и, следовательно, были очень простыми: крыша, чтобы защитить от дождя или снега, и стены, чтобы не пропускать ветер. Построенные здания сейчас можно разделить на две основные категории: они либо предназначены для жилья, либо для промышленного использования. Что касается материала, здания можно разделить на типы из камня (или кирпича), дерева и бетона. Кирпич - это искусственный материал, изготовленный из глины, затем обжигаемый для его закрепления. Натуральный камень (щебень) используется для фундаментов и внешних стен, несущих нагрузку. Здания из камня или кирпича прочные, огнестойкие и имеют плохую теплопроводность. Ярусы или уровни, которые разделяют здание на этажи или этажи, называются помещениями. Они могут быть из дерева, но в каменных зданиях они делаются из деталей железобетона разных размеров. Навесы или верхняя часть строений, строящиеся сверху, чтобы защитить от дождя и ветра и сохранить интерьер от погодных условий, называются крышами. Они должны быть прочно связаны со стенами и придавать устойчивость и крепость конструкции. Каждое здание должно быть красивым и пропорциональным в различных частях. Интерьер должен быть спланирован с учетом потребностей жильцов, в то время как экстерьер должен быть простым без каких-либо излишеств. Все здание должно быть оборудовано системой водоснабжения, электричества, вентиляции и отопления. Приведение воды в дом называется сантехникой. Сантехникам также необходимо удалить воду после ее использования. Первая часть этой проблемы называется водоснабжением, а вторая - канализацией или сточной системой.
