Glosario:
1. Albañil(Bricklayer): teacher or masonry officer. A bricklayer is a person with
professional knowledge and experience that is dedicated as a trade to the
construction, renovation, renovation and repair of buildings, both residential and
industrial.
2. Ampliación (Extension): We designate with magnification an increase of something,
whether of size, sound, quantity or time. Everything that enlarges receives the
name of enlargement. So we talk about the expansion of a house, when we add
spaces built on the ground
3. Andamio de trabajo(Work platform): A scaffolding is a temporary construction with
which workers are allowed access to the various points of a building, as well as to
take material to all the work sites of the building under construction or in the
rehabilitation of facades.
4. Aparejos de construcción(Masonry bonds): The rigging is the different ways of
arranging the bricks on the factory works. It is convenient to lock the successive
courses to avoid the continuity of the vertical joints. The minimum superposition of
an upper brick with a lower one is one quarter.
5. Balcón(Balcony): It is a kind of platform that is projected from the wall of a building,
supported by columns or corbels, and closed by a balustrade.The traditional
Maltese balcony is a closed wooden structure that protrudes from the wall.
6. Baldosas; Azulejos(Tiles): A tile is a slab or tile manufactured, manufactured in
different types and techniques of ceramics, as well as in stone, rubber, cork, glass,
metal, plastic, etc.
7. Barandilla (Bannister): The railing is a type of parapet formed by balusters that
constitutes an element of protection for balconies, stairs, bridges or other similar
elements.
8. Desagüe (Drain): A drain, drain, sink or simply a drainage or drainage system is
designed to drain excess rain and surface water from paved streets, parking lots,
sidewalks and rooftops. Drains vary in design from small residential dry wells to
large municipal systems.
9. Dintel de la ventana(Lintel): It is the superior element that allows to create openings
in the walls to form doors, windows or porticos. By extension, the type of
architecture, or construction that uses lintels to cover spaces in buildings is called
lintel architecture or lintel construction. The one that uses arches or vaults is called
vaulted architecture.
10. Edificio en construcción (Construction site): In the fields of architecture and
engineering, construction is the art or technique of manufacturing buildings and
infrastructures. In a broader sense, construction is called everything that requires,
before becoming, have a project and a predetermined planning.
11. En vía de construcción (Under construction): A road or route is a means of
transport of domain and public use, designed and built primarily for the circulation
of motor vehicles.
12. Encofrado(Column box): A formwork is the system of temporary or permanent
molds that are used to shape concrete or other similar materials such as tapial
before setting.
13. Escombros; Tierra escavada(Rubble / Excavated Herat): It is called rubble
fragment or other material that comes from the waste of construction, remodeling
or demolition of structures
14. Excavación de la obra(Excavation): In archeology, excavation refers to the process
of analyzing the natural and anthropic stratigraphies that settle in a certain place.
The excavation process consists of removing the deposits in the reverse order as
they have been formed.
15. Fachada (Front): The façade is the object of special care in the architectural
design, since being the only part of the building perceived from the outside, it is
often practically the only resource available to express or characterize the
construction. The expressive component is so ingrained in the concept of façade
that the cover is sometimes referred to as the "fifth facade" when it has an
aesthetic intention
16. Grúa de torre giratoria (La pluma Tower crane): A crane is a machine designed to
lift and distribute loads in space suspended from a hook. As a general rule they are
mills that have grooved pulleys, counterweights, simple mechanisms, etc. to create
mechanical advantage and move large loads.
17. Herramientas (Tools): The term tool, strictly speaking, is used to refer to resistant
tools (made of different materials, but initially materialized in iron as etymology
suggests), useful for mechanical work that requires the application of a certain
physical force.
18. Hormigonera (Gravity mixer): The concrete mixer is a device or machine used to
make concrete or concrete. Its main function is to supplant the manual mixing of
the different elements that make up the concrete: cement, aggregates and water.
19. La construcción de una casa(House construction): It can be organized in one or
several floors, and usually, although not exclusively, it refers to a building destined
to a single-family house, it can also have a basement, or a semi-basement, and a
transitable upper roof called a roof or terrace. If you have enough land, you can
also have a patio and garden.
20. La maceta (Mallet): Because it has more mass than a hammer, it is used by
masons and stonemasons to hit chisels or chisels. In addition, it is ideal for small
demolition works, because, being of a weight less than a mallet, it can be used with
only one hand.

21. Operador de maquinas (Mixer operator): mechanical operators are operators that
are connected to each other to allow the operation of a mechanical operator, taking
into account the mechanical operator that is exercised on them. The mechanical
operators convert the force into movement; the set of several operators is called
mechanism.
22. excavadora (Mechanical excavator): Excavator shovel is a self-propelled machine,
on tires or tracks, with a structure capable of rotating at least 360º (in one direction
and another, and uninterrupted) that excavates land, or load, lift, rotate and unload
materials by the action of the spoon, fixed to a set formed by a boom and arm or
rocker arm, without the supporting structure or chassis moving.
23. Pared (Tabique Wall): A wall is a work of vertical masonry that limits an
architectural space. Its shape is usually prismatic and its horizontal (long) and
vertical (high) dimensions are noticeably larger than its thickness (width).
24. Planta(Piso Storey): on a horizontal plane. It is obtained by means of a parallel
projection, perpendicular to the horizontal projecting plane, therefore, without
perspective. It is one of the main representations of the dihedral system, together
with the elevation. The representation of the horizontal section is also called a
plant.
25. Plataforma de tablones (Plank): to a piece of flat, elongated and rectangular wood,
with parallel faces, taller or longer than wide, used in the construction of boats,
houses, bridges, etc. It is usually made of sawn wood, with more than 38 mm
thickness, and of a width normally greater than 63 mm. If the width is less than 63
mm and the thickness less than 38 mm is called a table.
26. Saco de cemento(Bag of cement): The cement is a binder formed from a mixture of
limestone and clay calcined and subsequently ground, which has the property of
hardening on contact with water. The product resulting from the grinding of these
rocks is called clinker and becomes cement when a small amount of gypsum is
added to it to acquire the property of setting by adding water and hardening later.
27. Tambor mezclador (Mixing drum): A mixer also known as concrete mixer is one of
the essential pieces of equipment for any construction company or the person who
is looking to complete a job in the field without many problems.
28. Techo (Ceiling): the interior surface, generally horizontal, above the upper limits of
the walls of a room; although it is also known as the interior part of the roof and the
exterior part of the roof. It is usually not a structural element, but rather a surface
finish that hides the bottom of the floor or ceiling that exists above the structure.
29. Trabajos de enlucimiento (Plastering): The mason, or the plasterer or plasterer,
applies this layer to the walls, partitions and ceilings, previously covered with black
plaster; a material of poorer texture, so that they present a surface of smooth and
hard finish.
30. Valla; Cerca(Fence): Fence, wall or wall that delimits a plot, farm or house, placed
a fence around the garden.
31. Valla de protección(Site fence): A fence or fence is a vertical surface element that
is used to delimit land and protect it from intruders. They are usually made of wood
or metal. The fences are placed around a ground or garden and have the function
of preventing entry to it or protecting the privacy of its inhabitants. The fences are
installed on farms, agricultural land or in other private spaces such as, for example,
the gardens of single-family homes.
32. Zanja de cimentación(Foundation trench): A ditch is a cut and extraction of the land
that is made on the ground. It is a linear excavation. Digging by ditches is a
technique that is done when the land next to a cut must support loads at a higher
level than the bottom of the excavation (an adjoining building, a street, etc.).

33. Azadón(Mattock): The hoe is a tool generally used in agriculture. It is formed by a

blade with the cutting edge relatively sharp on one side and a handle to hold it. It is
basically used to dig and remove previously broken or soft earths and move piles
of sand or cement. The blade is usually made of iron, although there may also be
wood.

34. Broca (Drill, bit): The bit is a metallic piece of cut that creates circular holes in
various materials when placed in a mechanical tool such as a drill, berbiquí or
another machine. Its function is to form a hole or cylindrical cavity

35. Caja de herramientas (Toolbox): A toolbox is a container used to organize, contain

and transport tools.

36. Carretilla(Wheelbarrow): The single wheel front wheelbarrow is designed to

distribute the weight of the load between the wheel and the worker, which allows
carrying heavier loads than if they had to be transported completely by the person.
It is commonly used in the construction industry and in gardening.

37. Cinta aislante(Sealing tape): is a type of pressure adhesive tape used primarily to
insulate splices of electrical wires and cables.

38. Cinta métrica(Tape measure): A tape measure, a flexometer or simply meter is a

measuring instrument consisting of a flexible graduated tape that can be rolled up,
making transport easier. Also with it you can measure lines and curved surfaces.

39. Clavo (Nail): A nail, point or lace is a thin, elongated object with a sharp point made
of a hard metal (usually steel), used to hold two or more objects. A nail can be
"nailed" on the material to be worked using a hammer.

40. tuerca (Locknut): A nut is a mechanical part with a central hole, which has a thread,
which is used to attach a screw, in a fixed or sliding. The nut allows fastening and
fixing joints of removable elements.
41. Destornillador(Screwdriver): It is a tool that is used to tighten and loosen screws
and other elements of machines that require little tightening force and are usually
of small diameter.

42. Escalera (Stepladder): Una escalera es una construcción diseñada para comunicar
varios espacios situados a diferentes alturas. Está conformada por escalones
(peldaños) y puede disponer de varios tramos separados por descansos, mesetas o
rellanos.

43. Escuadra (Square): A square is a template with isosceles triangle shape that is
used in technical drawing.1 They can be of different sizes and colors or have
bevels on the edges that can be used with a rapidgraph.

44. Espátula(Spatula): A spatula is a tool that consists of a flat sheet of metal with a
handle or handle similar to a knife with a rounded tip.

45. Llave inglesa(Adjustable spanner): Adjustable wrench is a manual tool used to

loosen or adjust nuts and bolts. The opening of the wrench is adjustable (it has a
moving head) which allows it to adapt to different measures of bolts or nuts, this
feature the difference of the common wrenches which have a fixed size.

46. Manguera(Garden hose, hosepipe): A hose is a flexible hollow tube designed to

transport fluids from one place to another.

47. Martillo(Hammer): The hammer is a percussion tool used to directly or indirectly hit
a piece, causing it to move. The most common use is for nailing (embedding a
steel nail into wood or other material), fitting parts (by the action of the force
applied in the blow that the piece receives) or breaking a piece.

48. Paleta(Trowel): The bricklayer's trowel, also known as trowel, mason's spoon or
fratacho, is a tool used in masonry formed by a metal sheet of triangular shape,
held by a wooden handle used to apply and handle the mortar and mortar. If it is
small, it is usually called a bulletin.

49. Papel de lija(Sandpaper): Sandpaper or simply sandpaper is a tool that consists of

a paper support on which some abrasive material, such as glass or emery dust, is
adhered.

50. Plomada(Plumb line): A plumb line is a lead weight normally, but it can be made of
any other metal of cylindrical or prismatic shape, the bottom of conical shape,
which by means of the rope from which it hangs marks a vertical line; in fact, the
vertical is defined by this instrument.
