Preface The ConstructionaryTM has become the tool of preference for increasing communication between the Spanish- and English-speaking communities of the construction industry. The first edition was developed as the result of extensive research done by a team of volunteers and ICC staff members. The success of the Constructionary is reflected in its accceptance. Today, it is widely used to improve efficiency and communication on the jobsite. One of the main goals of the Constructionary was to unify the use of construction terms in Latin America and the Hispanic community of the U.S. As other dictionaries based on or inspired by this work appear on the market, the Constructionary proves its relevance and leads the effort to improve safety, efficiency, quality and uniformity in the construction industry. This second edition features an extended vocabulary, including new sections of plumbing, electrical and mechanical terms. As in the first edition, useful tables and phrases complement the contents of this practical guide. Contractors, construction workers, engineers, architects, building officials and inspectors will continue to find the Constructionary handy in their everyday tasks. Because language is dynamic, the Constructionary is a living document and will continue to grow and improve. Please send your comments and contributions, including any terms you would like to see in future editions of the Constructionary, to [email protected]. Alberto Herrera Editor ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Prefacio El ConstruccionarioTM se ha convertido en la herramienta preferida para incrementar la comunicación entre las comunidades de habla hispana e inglesa de la industria de la construcción. La primera edición de esta guía fue desarrollada como resultado de una investigación exhaustiva realizada por un equipo de voluntarios y personal del ICC. El éxito del Construccionario se ve reflejado en su aceptación al ser usado ampliamente para incrementar la eficiencia y la comunicación en el sitio de trabajo. Uno de los objetivos principales del Construccionario fue unificar el uso de términos de la construcción en latinoamérica y la comunidad de habla hispana de los Estados Unidos. El Construccionario ha probado su relevancia cuando se ven surgir en el mercado otros diccionarios basados o inspirados en éste y reafirma su compromiso en los esfuerzos de mejorar la seguridad, la eficiencia, la calidad y la uniformidad en la industria de la construcción. Esta segunda edición presenta un vocabulario más ámplio que incluye nuevas secciones de términos électricos y de instalaciones hidrosanitarias y mecánicas. Como en la primera edición, frases útiles y tablas complementan los contenidos de esta guía práctica que los constructores, trabajadores de la construcción, ingenieros, arquitectos, jefes de obras e inspectores han encontrado ser útil para el desarrollo de sus tareas cotidianas. Porque el lenguje es dinámico, el Construccionario es un documento vivo que continúa creciendo y mejorándose. Favor de enviar comentarios y contribuciones, incluyendo los términos que les gustaría ver en la futuras ediciones del Construccionario, a [email protected]. Alberto Herrera, Editor.
