Construction is the act of constructing, building, devising or forming infrastructure.
The construction industry is worth billions of dollars a year annually, and is directly and intimately related to the sectors of housing and development.
Within the construction industry work is performed by 'contractors' who fall into one of two types:
Sub-Contractors which tend to be smaller and only perform one of the various building trades.
General Contractors which manage large jobs (new construction) requiring the coordination of a large number of sub-contractors.
The construction industry is dominated by hard-working capitalists and in general construction workers tend to be conservative and Christian. This may be because construction is an honest trade that requires hard labor and a strength of spirit derived from faith (Jesus was a carpenter as well as the Savior).
