• Finishing Works - is a fine job in building construction process where it forms the beauty of a building.
• Finishing of a building can be divided into several sections:

  • floor finishing
  • wall finishing
  • ceiling finishing
• Building finishing works:

  • plastering
  • painting
  • glass / cladding (facade)
  • interior finishing
  • tiling / granite
  • driveway / pavements / landscape
  • compound walls / gates
• Finishing - can be considered as either interior finishing or exterior finishing, using materials that may include, cladding, doors, windows, exterior trims, and moldings
• Exterior finishing - may be extended to include sidewalks, patios, decks, parking areas and even the landscaping that compliments and completes the building.
• Interior finishing - will include ceilings, walls, flooring, and stairs, it will also include trim, molding, casing, cabinets, and fixtures that meet the owner's requirements and those of the building occupants.
• External Finishes:

  • brick/tile cladding
  • stone cladding
  • paints
  • grit wash
  • rough-cast-thrown concrete finish
  • ACP (aluminum coated panel) cladding
  • zinc coated panel cladding
  • stainless steel cladding
  • glass cladding
• Materials for Plastering:

  • cement
  • water
  • lime
  • sand
• Example of Plastering:

  • internal wall
  • external wall
• Walls Finishes - to enhance the interior or exterior look of the structure, can be quite delicate and needs maintenance.

• Annually three billions metric tons of raw materials are consumed to manufacture building materials and products.
• The building industry is the second largest consumer of raw materials, after the food industry.
• Metal - steel, aluminum, and copper can be recycled and reused.
• Asphalt pavement - recycling leftover asphalt produces massive energy saving and is usually crushed and recycled back into asphalt.
• The Waste Hierarchy: (from top to bottom)

  • reduce
  • reuse
  • recycle
  • recover
  • dispose
