	Construction, like other engineering fields, may be perceived and analysed from the perspective of the process of transforming information. One of the stages of this process is very well known – when we calculate the displacement of a beam, data about the structure (dimensions, material, load etc) is transformed into information about behaviour (such as displacement). Apart from these two types of information, there is also the information about the function of the structure; its design criteria, specifications, social expectations and so on.

Construction, like other engineering fields, may be perceived and analysed from the perspective of the process of '''transformation''' '''of''' '''information'''. One of the stages of this process is very well known to everyone – when we calculate the displacement of a beam, data about the structure (dimensions, material, load) is transformed into information about behaviour (displacement size). Apart from these two types of information, there is also the information about the structure function, which includes functional requirements, design criteria, specifications and social expectations.

The first stage of the information transformation process is '''formulation''' – which means going from the area of information on functions to the area of information on desirable behaviours of the structure. The objective of engineering design is transformation of functions (requirements) into behaviours, in accordance with the established parameters of safety, durability, stability, as well as appearance.

The second stage is '''synthesis'''. The parameters associated with the desired behaviour of the structure and the loads are transformed into spatial information about the structure in accordance with the design. An example here is preliminary selection of foundations, as well as the type and size of load-bearing components.

The third stage of transformation of information is '''analysis '''and assessment. After gathering information concerning the structure, we can analyse the it to determine its expected behaviour (response). Most often, this information concerns the internal forces and displacements (deformation) caused by loads. These values are compared with information concerning the desirable behaviours of the structure. Many of the calculation methods used to analyse the structures are performed by computers. If the evaluation results are not satisfactory, the synthesis and analysis stages are repeated, or the formulation is changed. This is an iterative process. Designing is an iterative combination of synthesis and analysis, taking into account the formulation.

The fourth stage is '''construction''' – going from the design, to a built structure.

The last, stage is '''monitoring''' the built structure. If there is any uncertainty about the behaviour of the structure, monitoring can provide us with information about the third type of “behaviour” of the structure – measured.

Comparison of the predicted and measured behaviours of a structure may lead to improvements in techniques.
