The quality of building materials - the main basis for safety and sustainability
In modern construction, the quality of materials and compliance with building regulations are of paramount importance. Poor-quality concrete, weak reinforcement or uncertified insulation material may threaten not only the appearance and service life of the building, but also human safety.
Why is the quality of materials crucial?
- Safety and durability - the reliability of any building depends primarily on the quality of materials. If they do not meet standards, the structure will be damaged, which poses a serious risk to human health and life;
- Long-term value - certified, European-standard materials may initially cost more, but in the future they significantly reduce repair costs and increase the viability of the building. Low-quality materials, on the other hand, are designed for short-term profit and ultimately cause big problems;
- Energy efficiency and environmental friendliness - in modern construction, special attention is paid to energy efficiency and environmental care. High-quality insulation and ecological materials reduce energy consumption, utility costs, and have a positive impact on both human health and the ecosystem.
How should materials be controlled?
- Supplier reliability - it is necessary to choose companies with experience and a positive reputation;
- Certificates and documentation - all building materials must have a document confirming compliance, confirming that the product meets national or international standards;
- Laboratory testing - concrete, brick, plaster and other materials must be regularly tested to determine chemical and physical properties;
- On-site inspection - visual inspection, control of packaging and storage conditions, as well as monitoring of the installation process are important.
Special attention is paid to:
- Concrete - its strength and ductility determine the foundation of the building;
- Reinforcement - the quality of the metal protects the concrete from damage and corrosion;
- Insulation materials - proper heat and waterproofing ensure an energy-efficient and durable building;
- Wood and brick - it is necessary to test their resistance to moisture and strength.
In Georgia, the quality of construction materials is regulated by the Law on the Safety of Buildings and Technical Regulations. Since 2018, cement, reinforcement, electrical wires and plastic pipes have been required to comply with EU standards. Since 2021, the same requirements have been extended to plasterboard.
