Joseph’s Answer

For strength, buildings are often made using steel-reinforced concrete - that's concrete with steel reinforcing bars (commonly called "rebar") inside, often in a grid structure. The steel rebars are positioned into the grid and fastened together by a steelfixer, then concrete is poured in around the rebar.

Joseph recommends the following next steps:

Look up what training (eg welding certifications and construction site safety cards) might be needed for steelfixers in your area
Look into the differences between pre-tensioned and post-tensioned concrete
