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.
