In choosing materials and materials, it is not enough to know the name of construction materials and for example some basic features, the following items and costs must be paid attention to:
✅ Economic Cost
The first important issue in choosing building materials is initial supply costs. That is, the same money that is paid for buying them at the factory door. Of course, in the next steps, the cost of relocation and specialized manpower should also be considered. For example, the price of a factory door beam is very different from the finished price of the same iron beam after installation; Therefore, we should keep updating the economic files of construction materials in our minds after completing each step of the work.
✅ Environmental costs
Costs that certain materials bring to the environment, including soil, water and air pollution, can be evaluated on a macro and micro scale. The macro and environmental pollutants of the extractive industries that rely on the production of building materials, such as mining, oil and timber, cause environmental damage at the source and in the transportation of raw materials, manufacturing, transportation of finished products, retail sales and installation.
✅ Energy and Fuel Costs
Primary energy costs include the amount of energy used to produce, deliver, and install materials. The long-term energy cost is the economic, environmental and social costs of continuing to produce and deliver energy to the building for its use, maintenance and final disposal. The initial energy consumption of a structure includes the energy consumed for extraction, construction, delivery, installation, materials.
