INTRODUCTION Construction technology can be defined as a technique which aid civil engineers in constructing infrastructures with the help of different tools and techniques. In modern world, it has been analysed that construction tools consists with ample number of software, hardware, materials, equipments and other special tools through which proper information can be gathered and execution can take place of high infrastructures and so on ( Sih, Carpinteri and Surace, 2013 ). There are different types of construction technologies that could be used in developing commercial, domestic, industrial, heavy or civil building infrastructures. Present report is based on the case in which a proper conceptual design has been made for a complex business hotel building. This hotel is located nearby motorway which is directly linked with Heathrow Airport. Client have decided that the infrastructure of the hotel should be of five storeys and needs to be build 1 Kilometre away from motorway. Report is going to be enclosed with differences between residential, commercial and industrial buildings, type of information have also be included to design the most suitable foundation type for different types of structures, functional characteristics of various elements, various sort of substructure works that are required for the infrastructures and lastly, description have also been given for supply arrangements for primary services. TASK 1 Differences between residential, commercial and industrial buildings In present context, it has been analysed that there are ample number of differences that can be seen among residential, commercial and industrial buildings and these are mentioned below: Residential Buildings Commercial Buildings Industrial Buildings This type of building gets constructed for a single family or multifamily structured based building which is mainly utilised primarily for living of people and these consists different systems (Moteki, Under this, offices, different shopping centres, departmental or stores, various project based commercial buildings comes under this sector. It is being found that these infrastructures comes are primarily planned Industrial buildings have been developed with a purpose of manufacturing items. These majorly developed or made away from urban areas with special conveyance requirements such as 24/7 3

Fujino and Nishiyama,2013). Apart from this, hotels, motels, apartments, lodging house, that basically consists of heaters and carries for cooling options comes under these type of buildings. and made to attract customers as these buildings are developed for business purpose where individual can earn profit. shipping and receiving with the help of different sorts of transportation like air, rail and sea ways. Since hotel is going to be made nearby a motorway which is directly linked with Heathrow Airport. This is coming under both type of buildings and these are residential and commercial. Ways through which sustainability could be promoted in building projects In building projects, sustainability plays a crucial role and it could be a desire for civil engineers because while developing a proper infrastructure, there are ample number of harmful effects can be seen which needs to be reduced considering sustainability. Here, it has been found that sustainability can be promoted among building projects through various ways:  Start with energy efficient premises: It has been analysed that a building project may emit heavy pollution. Therefore, it is required for the civil engineer to start with basic tools that are coming under energy performance certificate (EPC). Here, rating could be given in the form of A, B or C and with an A rating, a construction site is emitting really very low pollution. Good quality raw material used in construction site could help in making hotel to sustain in front of cyclones, and other natural and artificial disasters ( Marks and Teizer, 2013 ).  Keeping equipment running as efficiently as possible: With the help of high quality fuels and using renewable alternatives it basically ensures proper lubrication. Here, it is being analysed that choosing the right type of equipment for this hotel site needs is just as important to begin with.  Taking care of construction waste: In order to promote sustainability in construction projects, it is required to keep focus on waste management because this plays a crucial role and delivers largest contribution in developing healthy environment. In present time, most of civil engineers uses an approach of developing, using and then disposing which 4
