Sector
The construction sector is composed of the following three subsectors: civil engineering, building and real estate development, and renovation. Each of these subsectors plays a fundamental role in the development and maintenance of infrastructure and the built environment, contributing to economic growth and social well-being.
CIVIL ENGINEERING
The civil engineering subsector refers to the construction of public and private infrastructure that is not intended for habitation. It includes the construction of roads, bridges, tunnels, dams, airports, railways, water supply and sewage systems, and other civil engineering works.
Civil engineering focuses on large-scale projects that require significant planning and coordination, as well as adherence to strict safety standards and regulations.
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
The Building Construction subsector encompasses the construction of buildings intended for use as residences, offices, commercial establishments, and other purposes. This includes both the construction of new buildings and the expansion and remodeling of existing structures.
Real estate development, on the other hand, involves the planning, financing, marketing, and sale of real estate projects. Real estate developers play a key role in urban development and manage projects from conception to final delivery.
RENOVATION
The Renovation subsector focuses on the renewal, restoration, and improvement of existing buildings. Renovation may include updating electrical and plumbing systems, enhancing energy efficiency, restoring historical architectural elements, and adapting buildings to comply with new regulations or for new uses.
This subsector is crucial for the preservation of architectural heritage, the revitalization of urban areas, and the improvement of building sustainability.
