Strengths

employment and training opportunities in the field of construction

Private sector housing boom and commercial building demands

Construction of the multi building projects on the feasible locations in the country.

Good structured national network facilitates the boom of construction industry.

Low cost well- educated and skilled labour force is now widely available across the
country.

Sufficient availability of raw material and natural resources in the country is supportive for
the industry.

Real estate development is on high and it is attracting the focus of the industry towards
construction.
weakness
Opportunities
continuous private sector housing boom will create more construction opportunities.

Public sector projects through Public Private Partnerships will bring further opportunities.

Developing supply chain through involvement in large projects is likely to enhance the chances in
construction.

Renewable energy projects will offer opportunities to develop skills and capacity in new markets.

More flexible training delivery techniques are now available.

Financial supports like loan and insurance and growth in income of people is in support of construction
industry.

Historical cultural heritages like the TAZ MAHAL encourage and provide a creative platform for the
industry.

Threats
Long term market instability and uncertainty may damage the opportunities and
prevent the expansion of training and development facilities.

Political and security conditions in the region and Late legislative enforcement
measures are always threats to any industry in India.

They can kill you
Problems construction industry is facing

Our construction industry suffers from capacity constraints, lack of trained manpower
and managerial skills with performance much below international level.

The industry is starved of finance.

Small and medium contractors do not have the wherewithal to upgrade their capability,
both hard and soft, to undertake high value time bound projects.

Quality, safety, environment and social aspects are also not being addressed
appropriately.

Though there are islands of excellence in a sea of mediocrity, our

companies must become global players by modernising, intensive
training of their manpower, enhancing their turnover and change of
mindset.
 POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONSTRUCTION SECTOR

•A positive image of the construction industry as a career choice.

•Adequate training facilities to cope with increasing demands for Modern

Apprenticeships.

•A workforce that is suitably skilled and qualified.

•The transfer of skills from other sectors, such as agriculture, fishing, aquaculture
and forestry, to the construction industry.

•Local employers able to effectively compete for the large scale construction
contracts.
Conclusion

In the years ahead, the construction industry in India has to overcome various challenges
with respect to housing, environment, transportation, power or natural hazards.

Technocrats associated with the Indian construction industry need to employ innovative
technologies and skilled project handling strategies to overcome these challenges.

The outstanding performance under demanding situations in the past will stand in good
stead and give confidence to the Indian construction industry to bring about an overall
development in the infrastructure of the nation.

The gains of large investments in the mega-projects eventually will feedback to the
construction industry itself in the form of better economy and improved work conditions.
