Building components

Building components are the individual parts that make up a structure, each with a specific function such as supporting loads, enclosing spaces, or providing services. Mastering the types, materials, and construction methods of these components is essential for the Building Construction and Sanitation exam because they form the basis of design, safety, and regulatory compliance.
