Construction is a general term meaning the art and science to form


objects, systems, or organizations,[1] and comes from
Latin constructio (from com- "together" and struere "to pile up") and Old
French construction.[2] To construct is the verb: the act of building, and
the noun is construction: how something is built, the nature of its
structure.
In its most widely used context, construction covers the processes
involved in delivering buildings, infrastructure and industrial facilities, and
associated activities through to the end of their life. It typically starts
with planning, financing, and design, and continues until the asset is built
and ready for use; construction also covers repairs and maintenance
work, any works to expand, extend and improve the asset, and its
eventual demolition, dismantling or decommissioning.
As an industry sector, construction accounts for more than 10% of
global GDP (6-9% in developed countries) and employs around 7% of
the global workforce - over 273m people. The output of the global
construction industry was worth an estimated $10.8 trillion in 2017.
