Abstract:

The purpose of this chapter is to review the various types of construction, the main producers of construction and the processes used to commission construction works in the UK; and to demonstrate the variety of each. The chapter suggests that at least some of the combinations of products, producers and processes are more or less separate industries and, while it is often not possible to clearly delineate these, it is important to recognise that the differences exist and need to be taken into account by government, industry, researchers and others. Considering construction as a single industry leads to analyses and prescriptions that may be appropriate to some parts of construction but are certainly not applicable to all. The chapter also compares data on construction with data on manufacturing in general and motor vehicles in particular.
