A-Z Building and construction

Question

The board does not seem to be infested with the A-Z games today, so I will throw one out.

Let's look for terms that would involve the structure of building, not the operating systems.(N OT plumbing, electricity, heating and airconditioning etc)

The process of building, materials used,techniques, and words involved in the business aspect of construction (bidding,instructions to workers and deadlines for example)

To really confuse things I will let the first poster choose the "A:" word.
