ABSTRACT
The component parts of the building fabric, whatever the form of construction, must be fabricated and then assembled or erected on the site to produce the completed building.1
These processes must be organised and the manner of organisation differs from country to country and from time to time in any particular country. There are a number of ways of building in Great Britain and these are briefl described below. The names given to them, apart from the first, are arbitrary but they will serve to define them for use later in this book.
