Construction covers the processes involved in delivering buildings, infrastructure, 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.

Building construction is usually further divided into residential and non-residential.
