In advanced construction, the architects need to understand the relationship between the project construction and the construction design. Both project construction and project design are achieved through integrated systems (Binh, 2018). The project design involves the creation of a new program used in the project or the creation of the project itself. Project construction is the process of putting the project design into reality. This is the actual implementation of the created project design (Son & Kim, 2019). This is a short essay that gives ten examples of projects and programs in advanced construction.

Examples of the construction projects include the green buildings, Top-Down Design of the Hospital Project and Bottom-up Design of a hospital project, Groundwater Pollution from a Landfill, the tie-back retaining wall, and the Steel Frame Supporting a Turbo-Blower. The projects were designed and constructed to meet specific purposes (Son & Kim, 2019). For example, the steel frame project was constructed to help in supplying the pressurized air in the steel mill. The pressurized air was meant to supply air to a blast furnace. The following is a picture of a steel frame supporting a turbo-blower.

The examples of programs used in the advanced construction include the system utility, the Naviswroks software, viewpoint spectrum, and the CoConstruct program. The engineers use these programs to help in coordinating different activities during the construction of a project. The core function of construction programs is to help the engineers to effectively manage their projects (Binh, 2018). For example, they use a system utility program to manage the parts of a construction. This is a software program installed in the engineers’ computers to provide them with the necessary information concerning the construction (Binh, 2018). The following is a picture showing a section of a system utility program.
