A building project is the comprehensive process of designing, constructing, and finishing a structure, covering phases from planning and procurement to construction and occupancy. It generally divides into substructure (foundation) and superstructure (above-ground elements). Key stages involve design, permitting, site preparation, excavation, foundation, framing, and finishing.
