Qurilish

Qurilish is the Uzbek term for construction, referring to the process of planning, designing, financing, building, and maintaining built infrastructure and spaces. The word derives from qurish, meaning to build. It covers residential, commercial, industrial, and civil works, ranging from small renovations to large-scale projects such as bridges, roads, and public facilities.

The scope includes pre-construction activities (feasibility studies, site surveys, budgeting), design (architectural, structural, services), permitting, procurement and contracting, site preparation, actual construction, commissioning, and operation and maintenance. It engages a multidisciplinary workforce—architects, engineers, contractors, project managers, quantity surveyors, and suppliers—and employs methods such as building information modeling, modular construction, and progressive detailing.

Regulation and standards play a central role, including building codes, safety requirements, environmental rules, and labor laws. Quality assurance, risk management, cost control, and schedule management are integral throughout the project life cycle. Sustainability considerations are increasingly important, with emphasis on energy efficiency, resource management, and waste reduction.

Economically, qurilish underpins urban development, housing, and infrastructure, contributing to employment and national or regional growth. The sector faces challenges such as cost fluctuations, delays, safety concerns, and environmental impact. Ongoing emphasis on resilient design, green building practices, and improved construction methods aims to enhance durability, efficiency, and long-term performance.
