Technology ArticleGreat Building Materials Building Material is any material which is used for a construction purpose. See this outside definition. Many naturally occurring substances, such as clay, sand, wood and rocks, even twigs and leaves have been used to construct buildings. Apart from naturally occurring materials, many man-made products are in use, some more and some less synthetic. The manufacture of building materials is an established industry in many countries and the use of these materials is typically segmented into specific speciality trades, such as carpentry, plumbing, roofing and insulation work. This reference deals with habitats and structures including homes. Mud, stone, and fiberous plants are the most basic Building Materials, aside from tents made of flexible as basic structural components in these buildings, while mud is used to fill in the space between, acting as a type of concrete and insulation. Some examples are the wattle and daub mostly used as permanent housing in tropical countries or as summer structures by ancient northern peoples.
