Shoring an excavation is a creative process and is a perfect example of construction. But the shoring wall is
not the foundational wall. The shoring wall holds the earth back so that the foundational wall can be built; it is not part of the building itself. Nor is it permanent. When excavating beside an existing building, all the earth and pre-existing shoring is removed.

When pre-existing shoring is removed, the building does not collapse because it was never part of the building. Thus, although shoring is a form of construction, it does not constitute construction of the
building.
