The reason for workers to prefer volume batching in general construction is that volume batching which involves measuring the volume of the ingredients (cement, coarse and fine aggregates, etc.) is easier, simpler and faster, whereas weigh batching involves tedious work- transporting the mixtures to weighing machines,weighing; if it exceeds the desired amount, it has to be unloaded etc. And moreover labourers at work sites are not technical and hence they tend to ignore complicated processes. If I am at work site I would do the same, though I'm an engineer.

How much force is required to break concrete?
The force required to break concrete depends on various factors such as the type of concrete, its age, and the specific conditions of the concrete. In general, the compressive strength of concrete is measured in pounds per square inch (psi). For typical concrete mixes, the compressive strength can range from about 2,500 psi to over 10,000 psi. Therefore, the force required to break concrete can vary widely, but it typically takes thousands of pounds of force to break through concrete.
What is the difference between construction and construction management?
If you understand a short language . Construction management is a recent practice in construction site for timely completion of the civil engineering projects the act of constructing something; "during the construction we had to take a detour"; "his hobby was the building of boats" Construction management is also thought of to be a higher level in construction. You may not be the one doing all the work, but instead you command others to do the work. Construction is a more general term as in building something.
