Use the following flow-chart to write a paragraph (within 100 words) on how a
building is constructed:

How Building is Constructed
Constructing a building is a pretty complex and
lengthy process. Many things need to be considered before construction work.
Firstly drawing of a plan of the building by the architect is done. Then the
plan gets sanctioned by the corporation or municipal authorities. After
sanctioning the plan it is time to build the structure. For that masons and
labourers are engaged. They start the construction with bricks, cement and
sand. After that doors and windows are fixed. Next step is plastering of walls.
All kinds of wiring like electric and water connections are done after that.
Last step is painting. After painting is completed the building is fit for
living.
