Taking up or down or breaking up without care is termed as:
1. Reconstruction
2. Dismantling
3. Demolition
4. Redevelopment

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Demolition

Explanation:

Demolition:

• Demolition in the construction sector means the bringing down of buildings and other structures that are load-bearing or otherwise related to the physical integrity of the structure.
• Demolition is often done in combination with site cleaning i.e disposing of the rubble and waste material.
• Redevelopment refers to the process of reconstruction of the residential/commercial premises by the demolition of the existing structure and construction of a new structure.
• So, demolition is a part of the redevelopment program

Dismantling:

• Dismantling is seen as partial demolition, ie the removal of a component of a structure often with the replacement by a newer part example exchange of boilers.

• A relatively new term for dismantling is deconstruction, which means to take a building or structure apart in order to preserve valuable elements for re-use, it is also part of dismantling and called green demolition.

Reconstruction:

• It means any particular component of structure like beam or column or any particular floor of a building needs to be broken and to be built once again so that it can match with desired standards.
