Construction as Industry :

Provides employment on large scale.

Developing country — Labour intensive style of construction
If construction project schedules are not maintained, the cost increases by leaps and bounds.
Use of machine and equipments in construction industry increases the quality of construction.
The art of construction has slowly developed as a science through ages. In our country, building construction in
rural and semi-urban areas is more or less an art.

Nature of the Construction industry:

We can group he various industries into main classes:

a. Manufacturing Industry
b. Services Industry

In the manufacturing industry, we have a product whose quality is dependent on the process used. There will be many

process and techniques used rather than the quality of work process in generating the capital invested are very large .
