Construction means the building of something. This can mean the building of anything from motorways, to an office block, to a brand new cinema. It is happening all around us, all the time.

The bigger the project, the longer it will take to build, so some construction could last a few weeks, and some could last a few years. There is lots of hard work involved in constructing a building and there are various different stages.

During the entire construction cycle of a building for example, the work will start with the foundation stage and move through to the framing, exterior, drywall and the finishing stage.

Depending on what is being built, these stages may differ and there may even be more or fewer stages. Construction is a team project and requires a lot of working together.

A construction project may require a very large or small workforce, depending on the size of the building project. No matter what the size is, there are lots of different jobs to do, requiring many different skills.
