Abstract
The construction of small houses was started many years before Christ, and the development of this field has led many architects and engineers to a higher level of buildings. Mainly the buildings in terms of height are classified into three types: low-, medium- and high-rise buildings. In this particular study, medium or med-rise buildings are investigated. Reaching the fully finished building stage is not easy, and it requires many steps. Taking into account the step-by-step tasks for proper performance completion, economical point of view, performance period estimation and other considerations, it is essential to organise (plan) the work before it starts accurately; that is why a work breakdown structure (WBS) template is vital in the planning, design and construction of buildings. In this paper, an overview and a WBS template for construction planning of the med-rise buildings are submitted. It was seen that for the successful construction of a mid-rise building, 14 steps are required prior completion, and among all steps, construction step takes more time for completion.

Lots of buildings projects are subjected to many issues before the completion such as weather, insufficient knowledge of the architect or engineer selected, economic issue leading to lack of materials which leads to delay in work and so on

Summary
Having a place to live and keep his belongings is one of the most vital things that a human being may have in this world. At least 75% of the world population had a place to live in 2017 This shows how people give importance to houses, buildings, and so on. In olden days it was difficult for people to deal with environmental issues such as climatic problems: wind, rain, sun, snow and other issues. These issues were affecting their daily living in such a point that protecting themselves as well as their belongings were horrible. These issues were the source of their health, security and freedom problem They have started developing ideas such as digging a hole at the face of mountains so that the place may serve them as a shelter. A building is a type of structure constructed firmly to serve as a shelter for human and all his belongings or possessions, thereby ensuring his safety (Merritt and Ricketts, 2000)
