its a very nice course in construction that helps you to know many things about construction and it brotherns the mind as well
Arpan Nath @thalaivaa91

Bagged a huge knowledge about concrete work, best for a civil engineer
Chalwe Benjamin

It's an excellent course especially that l m building a new house and at the same time helping in a construction work done within the community.
Krutika Wankhade

It was easy to understand and to know all the things in a brief with its proper explaination. The video provides a comprehensive overview of various building materials used in construction, ranging from traditional materials like wood and brick to modern materials such as steel, concrete, and composites. It explores the properties, advantages, and disadvantages of each material, making it suitable for both beginners and those looking to deepen their understanding.

i learned the big heighted buildings example how they constructed the FNB Stadium in South Africa what are the difficulties to construct that building , and dams near Soweto to construct that was in South Africa. world famous buildings their architectural designs too it was amazing to learn the structures wonderful learning from this videos i got . Thank you.
Anurag Pandey

really to good class session , apricated his way of teaching , also learn good method and function of concrete , and rules of using concrete using at site , hoping i will learn more after this lecture .
