Today, materials are applied using techniques offered by modern construction technology. Stone is cut using computer controlled systems, as are the wooden or metal, even polyester, fibreglass or polystyrene, frames and shuttering used for reinforced concrete.
Finally, mention must be made of present-day ancillary equipment (metal scaffolding, tall, powerful cranes, and computer-aided redesigning systems) which have become indispensable tools for carrying out construction with precision and efficiency, as well as the procedure of pre-mounting large stone pieces, frames or shuttering on a large site on the outskirts of Barcelona.
