The only large buildings were communal ones such asgranaries and places of worship for their gods. In ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, large buildings were financed by the rulers ofthe country and built by slaves who had been captured in battle.Stone was used if it was available and where it was not, brick making industry developed.After the end of the Roman Empire in the 4th century AD therewas very little large-scale building done in Europe for about sixhundred years. There were two kinds of buildings other than cottagesand farm buildings: castles and churches. Building a cathedral wassuch a vast undertaking that someone was required to organize allthe craftsmen needed for the work. This was usually a masterstonemason.At the time of the Renaissance in the 15th and 16th centuries anew sort of building specialist emerged. He was usually a philosopher or artist, rather than a craftsman, who would get togethera team of building workers and make arrangements to pay them.This was the beginning of the profession of architecture.The Industrial Revolution inthe 19th century brought to anend the craft trad itio n s inbuilding. Many new functionalbuildings were put up in the bigtowns that were developing —buildings that were not plannedto be beautiful but were there toBuilding construction for house machinery and the workersseveral apartment blocks who operated it. They had to bebuilt quickly and cheaply. Thebuilding materials were brought across the country on the new canalsand railways that were quickly constructed to get the raw materialsfor industry and the finished products to the places where they wereneeded.When the railways were built, tunnels were dug, and bridges, aqueducts, and roads were built. New materials such as steel wereintroduced and engineers were trained to use them. Advances inscience meant that building designers could calculate in advance how a building should be constructed to ensure that it would standup, instead of relying on a system of trial and error, for it sometimeshappened that a building would collapse while it was being built.It was important to calculate accurately the cost of materials andlabour, and there came to be so much competition for doing thework that a system of tendering developed. Different contractorswould calculate what it would cost to complete a project and thenthe lowest estimate would be chosen. The quantity surveyor emergedin the late 19th century as a professional specialist in buildingfinance, who could accurately predict the cost of a project.In the late 19th century, all kinds of new technologicaldevelopments affected the building industry. The emergence of theskyscraper in Chicago, United States, was made possible not onlyby the use of steel framing in the structure, but also by the inventionof the elevator, the telephone, and air conditioning.The present state of building construction is complex. There isa wide range of building products and systems which are aimedprimarily at groups of building types or markets. The design processfor buildings is highly organized and draws upon researchestablishments that study material properties and performance, codeofficials who adopt and enforce safely standards, and designprofessionals who determine user needs and design a building tomeet those needs. The construction process is also highly organized;it includes the manufacturers of building products and systems, thecraftsmen who assemble them on the building site, the contractorswho employ and coordinate the work of the craftsmen, andconsultants who specialize in such aspects as constructionmanagement, quality control, and insurance.
