Building and Construction Industry builds new structures and modifies existing structures through the maintenance, repair, and improvements on these structures. It encompasses all the businesses that build either houses and office buildings or highways and bridges, as well as those who do the specialized work of electricians, plumbers and masons, who are typically involved in the construction of all kinds of structures.

You Are a Builder and a Creator

How many professionals in other industries can point at the brand-new hospital or bridge and say, “I helped build that”? Whether it’s a road, a home, a sewage system or a school, the structures you build matter to the people in your community.

A Strong Construction Industry Leads to a Strong Economy

The U.S. economy’s strength is tied to the construction industry. Construction projects provide jobs, providing both funds and jobs to a community, and create the infrastructure critical to keeping communities moving forward.

Skill-Based Occupation

As you work your way up through the ranks, you will find new ways to use both your mind and your hands to get the job done. For those who are relatively new to the field, pay attention to the workers who have been in construction for decades. They are experts because they’ve been working hard, observing and learning all along the way.

Immediate Results from Your Work

At the end of every day at work, you’ll be able to see the progress you and your team have made. Watching that progress turn into a completed project, day by day, is one of the most rewarding parts of construction.

Something New Every Day

Every construction site brings new, interesting challenges. You’ll also get to change things up with each new project, and avoid job stagnation that leads to burnout.

Collaborating with a Team

Collaborating with your team to overcome obstacles and fix problems on the jobsite is another way you will put your skills to use. Strong networks are formed on construction projects because everyone on the team depends on everyone else to get the job done.
