Building materials are materials that can be used to construct structures, for example buildings, bridges and roads.The use of most building materials is regulated by standards.Since building materials differ in quality depending on the material (selection, combination, quality and processing), planning and project planning principles, current standards and guidelines, specifications and ordinances by the legislator, processing regulations and the recognised rules of construction technology also apply.

New techniques for the use of a new building material develop around it, and so on.
