Status	Attribute label	Enumerant label ▾	Concept definition	Code	Ref type	Reference
STD 2005/06/07	BUILDING_CONSTRUCTION- _TYPE	GEODESIC_FRAME	An internal steel or concrete frame bears the load of the <ROOF>, contents, and the <STRUCTURE> itself; geodesic frame. The frame is composed of light, straight elements, usually in tension, that form a dome or other curved shape.	11	IR	[UTZB]
STD 2005/06/07	BUILDING_CONSTRUCTION- _TYPE	GLASS_CLAD_STEEL_FRAME	An internal steel or concrete frame bears the load of the <ROOF>, contents, and the <STRUCTURE> itself; glass clad steel frame. The <EXTERIOR_WALL>s are thin, the frame is often visible from outside, and exterior siding consists of glass.	12	IR	[UTZB]
STD 2005/06/07	BUILDING_CONSTRUCTION- _TYPE	HALF_TIMBERED_WOOD_FRAME	An internal, heavy wood frame bears the load of the <ROOF>, contents, and the <STRUCTURE> itself; half-timbered wood frame. Supporting elements include <STRUCTURAL_BEAM>s and posts and a non-load-bearing in-fill.	13	IR	[UTZB]
STD 2005/06/07	BUILDING_CONSTRUCTION- _TYPE	HEAVY_CLAD_STEEL_FRAME	An internal steel or concrete frame bears the load of the <ROOF>, contents, and the <STRUCTURE> itself; heavy clad steel frame. The <EXTERIOR_WALL>s can be up to 30 centimetres (approximately 1 foot) thick, are typically composed of bricks and/or concrete blocks, and are not load-bearing.	14	IR	[UTZB]
STD 2005/06/07	BUILDING_CONSTRUCTION- _TYPE	LIGHT_CLAD_STEEL_FRAME	An internal steel or concrete frame bears the load of the <ROOF>, contents, and the <STRUCTURE> itself; light clad steel frame. The <EXTERIOR_WALL>s are thin, the frame is often visible from outside, and there is usually has a high proportion of <WINDOW>s.	15	IR	[UTZB]
STD 2005/06/07	BUILDING_CONSTRUCTION- _TYPE	LIGHT_CLAD_WOOD_FRAME	An internal frame composed of wooden small <STRUCTURAL_BEAM>s, bears the load of the <ROOF>, contents, and the <STRUCTURE> itself; light clad wood frame. The <EXTERIOR_WALL>s are sheathed with stucco and/or brick. This type of construction is also known as balloon frame construction.	16	IR	[UTZB]
STD 2005/06/07	BUILDING_CONSTRUCTION- _TYPE	MASONRY_MASS	The exterior large masonry block walls of the <STRUCTURE> bear the load of the <ROOF>, contents, and the <STRUCTURE> itself; masonry mass. EXAMPLE <CASTLE>.	17	IR	[UTZB]
STD 2005/06/07	BUILDING_CONSTRUCTION- _TYPE	METAL_CLAD_STEEL_FRAME	An internal steel or concrete frame bears the load of the <ROOF>, contents, and the <STRUCTURE> itself; metal clad steel frame. The <EXTERIOR_WALL>s are thin, the frame is often visible from outside, and exterior siding consists of sheet metal with a high proportion of <WINDOW>s.	18	IR	[UTZB]
STD 2005/06/07	BUILDING_CONSTRUCTION- _TYPE	PLASTIC_CLAD_STEEL_FRAME	An internal steel or concrete frame bears the load of the <ROOF>, contents, and the <STRUCTURE> itself; plastic clad steel frame. The <EXTERIOR_WALL>s are thin, the frame is often visible from outside, and exterior siding consists of plastic with a high proportion of <WINDOW>s.	19	IR	[UTZB]
STD 2005/06/07	BUILDING_CONSTRUCTION- _TYPE	POURED_CNCRT_MASS	The poured concrete <EXTERIOR_WALL>s of the <STRUCTURE> bear the load of the <ROOF>, contents, and the <STRUCTURE> itself; poured concrete mass.	20	IR	[UTZB]
