There is barely any material visible that could have originated close to the building site. The commercial building largely consists of construction materials such as tinted curtain glazing, Aluminum composite panel, steel and at the core the primary structure of the building is Reinforced cement concrete construction. These are the major construction material that has been used in this building and all of these materials are widely used in almost any construction that could be found around the globe.
