Put simply, whenever something is being built, we say it is ‘under construction’, so it’s the action of building something. This article will go a little deeper than that, as we will explore the different types of construction, all with exciting jobs opportunities which you can explore here.

There’s more than one type of construction, usually defined by the type of building that will be the finished article, or the size of the project. Each type of construction plays a vital part in shaping the industry.

When houses are built, renovated, updated, or changed for a new purpose i.e to make them bigger, this is one specific type of construction. The materials involved must be safe for people to live in the house, with considerations such as waste and energy efficiency being taken into account.

Plans are drawn up and usually groups of houses (often called housing estates) are built by one or more companies, or contractors to make the project as time efficient as possible.
