Construction Economy The  construction  economy  is  a  well  defined  element  of  the general economy and is identified as a component of gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) within gross domestic product (GDP). An established benchmark for developing countries is that GFCF should be between 20% and 30% of GDP and that construction spend should represent no less than one third of GFCF. The construction economy is defined as all expenditure associated  with  fixed  investment  into  physical  infrastructure, production and commercial facilities and accommodation as performed by general and specialist contractors, engineers, materials  suppliers  and  service  providers.  It  generally  excludes generic machinery and equipment.
