The major divisions of the construction industry
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The three major divisions are building construction, heavy construction and industrial construction.
Explanation of Solution
The major divisions of a construction industry are classified as:
Building Construction:
It involves the erection of a building on a piece of land. This kind of construction includes residential, educational, commercial, religious, civic, and agricultural buildings. It includes construction of a new building and a significant amount of activity is related to repairs and renovations for existing building.
Heavy Construction:
Large infrastructure projects like highways, canals, dams, bridges, tunnels, and subways are categorized under heavy construction. They are generally financed by governmental agencies and are incorporated to serve the society in a better manner.
Industrial Construction:
This category refers to the construction of large-scale manufacturing units or processing plants. This kind of construction requires the support of many industries that manufacture materials and components required for the completion of the building.
