Building material is any material which is used for a
construction purpose. Just about every type of available material has
been used at one time or another for creating various human and animal
homes, structures,
and technologies. This reference deals with habitats and structures
including homes.
Living spaces and their related structures have been created using myriad
materials, from mud to metal, and from plastic to grass. Today the
production and assembly of various building materials is a multibillion
dollar industry, and environmental concern has recently surfaced about the
effects of such a massive resource extraction on a global scale. |

Mud, rocks, and small plants are used as the most basic
building materials, aside from tents made of flexible materials such as
cloth or leather. People all over the world have used these three
materials together to create homes to suit their local weather conditions.
In general stone and brush are used as basic structural components in
these buildings, while mud is used to fill in the space between acting as
a type of concrete and insulation.
