Metropolises are boasting cutting-edge new buildings and preserving heritage buildings recognisable around the world. With the economic and escalation of cost in construction, materials and maintenance of buildings, there has been a significant growing interest in sustainable planning and building practices to support green and energy efficient cause. Buildings have now become the epitome of city life with important sociocultural implications, as for that the building and construction industry is booming and construction crews, developers, architects and engineers are being sent out to build a new building or to reconstruct a building to support energy efficiency and green cause.
Asia in particular is the core site of rapid construction fuelled by economic growth for new buildings and renovation or restoration of existing buildings. The Asia construction business is booming and it has been 10 years since the Asian financial crisis, which left many developers bankrupt.
