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.

The use of building materials is always dependent on the state of technology.This changes constantly in the course of technical progress.Depending on the state of the art in a society, proven building materials are used and/or new building materials are developed.

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