Tech buildings are structures that originally belong to no particular faction and cannot be constructed by a standard faction, but can be captured for various bonuses. However, simply being garrisonable is not enough to be considered a tech building. They represent militarily useful civilian structures.
In the Tiberium and Red Alert series, it is necessary to use up an engineer to capture a building. In Generals, one needs infantry with the Capture Building ability.
Possible bonuses include: extra revenue, automatic repair of units, build radius expansion, defense, access to different technologies and others.
