Construction is growing from year to year in our country. This requires the use of new building methods and new building materials which play a very important role in the work of architects and builders. They help to develop modern architecture, speed up construction work and reduce its cost.
We are now building thousands of new blocks of flats, schools, hospitals and a large number of industrial enterprises. A great percentage of the houses are constructed by house building plants. This building method is successfully applied in different cities and towns. Millions of people get new flats and houses every year. The newly built blocks of flats have all modern conveniences, making our life more comfortable.
