Building & Construction

The building and construction industry is a major driver of activity in the Australian economy. It is comprised of:

residential building (houses, flats, units and alterations to existing dwellings),

non-residential building (shops, offices, hotels, factories, educational facilities and hospitals) and engineering construction (roads, sewerage, energy, etc). It includes architectural and engineering services and construction trades (bricklaying, plumbing, electrical, etc).

The industry is extremely diverse, with employment in firms ranging from a few people in family owned enterprises to thousands in major firms. The engineering construction sector is highly concentrated and features increasing foreign investment in the larger end of the market. Industry activity is highly cyclical.
