Building material is any material which is used for construction purposes. Many naturally occurring substances, such as clay, rocks, sand, and wood, even twigs and leaves, have been used to construct buildings. Apart from naturally occurring materials, many man-made products are in use, some more and some less synthetic. The manufacture of building materials is an established industry in many countries and the use of these materials is typically segmented into specific specialty trades, such as carpentry, insulation, plumbing, and roofing work. They provide the make-up of habitats and structures including homes.

The primary goal of ICBMC 2020 is to promote research and developmental activities in Building Materials and Construction. Another goal is to promote scientific information interchange between researchers, developers, engineers, students, and practitioners working in Singapore and abroad. The conference will be held every year to make it an ideal platform for people to share views and experiences in Building Materials and Construction and related areas.
