The superstructure is defined as the portion of a specific building that is constructed above the ground level. The superstructure serves the purpose of structure’s use.
It is divided into columns, beams, slab upwards and it also includes all the finishes, doors, and windows schedules, flooring, roofing, lintels, and parapets as well.
The superstructure is used for the intended building use.
The substructure is the lower part of a building that is constructed below the ground level. The function of the substructure is to pass out the loads from the superstructure to the underlying soil.
The substructure is always in direct contact with the soil that provides support to the building.
In this way, the substructure includes the footing and plinth of a building.
In such a case, you should hire an experienced structural engineer who is capable of generating plans and works for the substructure of a building project.
