Journey with us into Construction
To ''construct'' means ''to build'' something.
Construction is simply the process of building. To help you understand the type of projects built within the Industry, read each category below to find out more:
Buildings
Houses, Apartment Buildings, Residential homes, Commercial Skyscrapers, Shopping Centres, Office Buildings, Schools, Hospitals, Warehouses, Factories etc. Each type mentioned above requires different materials to meet its use and the people who will use it. Every building type must be designed to be safe for the user!
Infrastructure
Roads, Railways, Dams, Bridges, Water Distribution and Purification Systems.
This category of construction is very important for national development, as it links people to cities, towns, and other countries. It also provides access for essential daily items and deliveries across cities for the people.

Refineries, Pipelines, Power Utilities, Manufacturing Plants
and Telecommunication Infrastructure.
Construction's impact on Our Community

Communities also benefit from construction because it builds infrastructure to supply clean water, waste management, flood defence systems and improved transportation systems. Construction companies - working to build some of the buildings mentioned above - have a commitment to local residents e.g. allowing them to visit the construction site or renovating a local community garden.
Construction is an ever-evolving Industry. Modern developments use some of the latest technology, ranging from Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Computer Aided Design (CAD) to even nanotechnology - this itself has created further career roles for people!
Many Construction careers are focused on green technologies and sustainability, ensuring the environment is protected during the building process.
