Ingénieur civilUn ingénieur civil est un ingénieur dont la particularité correspond à des statuts différents selon l'époque et le pays. Génie (technique)Jusqu'à la première révolution industrielle, les ingénieurs étaient bien souvent issus d'écoles d'origine militaire et étaient chargés principalement du génie militaire qui englobait alors bien souvent toutes les tâches associées comme la construction, les fortifications, les routes et ponts, les voies navigables.
ÉchafaudageUn échafaudage est une construction temporaire constituée de ponts, de passerelles ou de plates-formes soutenus par une charpente en bois, en acier ou en aluminium. Il est destiné à permettre l'accès des artisans et du matériel en tous points d'un bâtiment à édifier ou à réparer. Il est décomposé en trois catégories distinctes : fixe, suspendu ou roulant. Les échafaudages fixes sont eux-mêmes répartis en trois catégories : échafaudage de façade ; échafaudage multidirectionnel ; échafaudage de maçon.
Structural engineerStructural engineers analyze, design, plan, and research structural components and structural systems to achieve design goals and ensure the safety and comfort of users or occupants. Their work takes account mainly of safety, technical, economic, and environmental concerns, but they may also consider aesthetic and social factors. Structural engineering is usually considered a specialty discipline within civil engineering, but it can also be studied in its own right.
Construction engineeringConstruction engineering, also known as construction operations, is a professional subdiscipline of civil engineering that deals with the designing, planning, construction, and operations management of infrastructure such as roadways, tunnels, bridges, airports, railroads, facilities, buildings, dams, utilities and other projects. Construction engineers learn some of the design aspects similar to civil engineers as well as project management aspects.
Real estate developmentReal estate development, or property development, is a business process, encompassing activities that range from the renovation and re-lease of existing buildings to the purchase of raw land and the sale of developed land or parcels to others. Real estate developers are the people and companies who coordinate all of these activities, converting ideas from paper to real property. Real estate development is different from construction or housebuilding, although many developers also manage the construction process or engage in housebuilding.
