Construction is the process of building or assembling infrastructure and facilities, encompassing a wide range of activities from planning and design to the actual building and maintenance of structures such as buildings, roads, and bridges. It involves the coordination of various trades and professions, including architects, engineers, project managers, and laborers, each contributing their expertise to complete projects efficiently and safely. The construction industry is vital for economic growth, providing infrastructure that supports other sectors and creating employment opportunities. Advances in technology have introduced new materials, methods, and automation, enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of construction projects. Safety regulations and environmental considerations are also crucial aspects, as the industry seeks to minimize its impact on the environment and ensure the well-being of workers and communities.
