The intersection of building materials, construction, and planning is crucial in shaping the infrastructure of our cities and communities. The construction industry is a complex ecosystem that relies heavily on a variety of building materials and components to create functional and aesthetically pleasing structures. Cement serves as a foundational element, providing the strength and durability necessary for various building applications. Alongside cement, other essential materials include formwork, which shapes concrete during its curing process, and building components that contribute to the overall integrity of a structure.
