Terms, Terms & Terms

We will now try and explain a few very important terms used in the building line and the Civil Construction and the Real Estate Industry and Working.

Quite a few of these are in the vernacular local languages, but over the years have acquired a universal acceptance. Many of these words, will, one day or the other, enter the English Language, as already a number of words from our Indian languages have become accepted English Words! And many of the terms discussed below are quite technical! No! We are not trying to make you all Civil Engineers! It is just that better knowledge is better suited for better results.

These will mostly apply to places and the construction of houses, factories, commercial buildings, schools & colleges, hospitals, etc. In fact, the terms described here will tell of about the construction of any type of a building. But it is good to know these terms, as it will help us in our real Estate Work, tremendously.

Neither your clients, nor the builders expect you to become a “Civil Engineer” or even a “Civil Supervisor” by mastering this brief matter!! But it will help when you are able to understand these terms, and use them correctly before your clients and the builders. Surely, they will be positively and favourably impressed with your knowledge. And, more important, no one will be able to fool you!!!

Yes! It has been said that, “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing!” But that was said in a totally different context. And you are not treading on any danger, if you confidently talk the terms being discussed here – after you have studied them, as written down and explained here in; and after you have understood and remembered them.

And surely, please do not hesitate to ask us, if you need more clarifications for these terms, or any other ones.
