If you had hired a construction company for a project, you might have heard people using various words that you were not familiar with. Most industries have specific terms and being familiar with them eases the communication and makes the construction project smoother.
A contractor should be willing to explain these terms to clients, but you will always feel more confident when you are already familiar with them and must not take for granted someone else's explanations. Workers who enter the construction industry must also get familiar with the specific terms, as soon as possible, otherwise the progress and the overall quality of a project may be negatively affected.
Specific construction industry terms with construction jobs in Colorado and other states are used in every stage of a project, from the home foundation (jitterbug, grade beam, bull float, honeycomb etc.), to house framing (stringer, rafter, ceiling joist etc.)
You should also be familiar with the words designating the construction materials. It is important, for example, to be able to make the difference between concrete, reinforced concrete and mortar, as well to know the designations of common acronyms and abbreviations such as PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), CGI (corrugated galvanized iron), HVAC (Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning), or J-Box (an electrical junction box).
