This is a list of building materials.
Many types of building materials are used in the construction industry to create buildings and structures. These categories of materials and products are used by architects and construction project managers to specify the materials and methods used for building projects.
Some building materials like cold rolled steel framing are considered modern methods of construction,[by whom?][clarification needed] over the traditionally slower methods like blockwork and timber.
Catalogs
Catalogs distributed by architectural product suppliers are typically organized into these groups.
