The goal of this final thesis is to outline the process for creating a building from initial planning and constrution through to first usage by a customer. Everything begins with the customer's initial vision for the building, which they present to a architectural designer whose job it is to capture this vision and bring it to life. The architectural designer's responsibilities include creating the first draft of the project followed by the finaised verison of the entire project. A technical examination of the chosen project site is needed to construct the building. Construction cannot commence without certain permits and licences which the customer must obtain prior to the start of construction. Once the required licences have been obtained, detailed technical drawings are agreed upon, a suitable contractor with a reputable reputation should be selected. The construction of a building has numerous phases, from pouring the intial concreate foundations to the final interior designer's finishing touches, each with different timeframes. At each stage mistakes should be identified and rectified before moving onto the next phase of construction. A building of low quality construction has the potential to endanger people's lives and the surronding environment. An independent technical inspection is the last step in ensuring the quality of the work is sufficent, and after a positive decision, the operating permit can be given and first use commence.
