CONSTRUCTION SUBSECTORS & ACTIVITIES

Subsectors (5) &

Industrial Activities

Materials Manufacture

Construction Subsector

Electrical Contractors Building

Subsector

Built Environment Professions

1. MATERIALS MANUFACTURE

• The materials manufacturing subsector has 15 Sector Industry Codes (SIC);

• This subsector plays a key role as construction projects need materials to be

completed;

Activities include but not limited to:

manufacturing of various wooden doors/fixtures

Kitchen cabinet making for customised requirements on site

Manufacture of tiles and sanitary ware

Manufacture and installation of ceramic products

Manufacture of roof trusses

Brickmaking

Manufacture of construction materials, hardware, plumbing and heating equipment

Manufacture of memorial tombstones. Cutting and finishing of stones

Manufacture of articles of concrete, cement and plaster

2. THE CONSTRUCTION SUBSECTOR

• With 25 different SIC codes, the construction subsector is the largest in the sector;

• This subsector Includes all contractors including civil engineering contractors, steel, structural,

mechanical contractors, residential and non residential contractors

• There are FOUR types of contractors in the construction sector:

• Civil Engineering (CE) Contractors – water, sewerage,roads,railways,harbours and transport,

urban development and municipal services

• General Building (GB) Contractors – building renovations, maintenance or removal of permanent

building structures. GB Constructors construct buildings for domestic, industrial, commercial use,

handle car ports, concrete walls, timber fences, stores and walls

• Mechanical Engineering ( ME) Contractors – engineering infrastructure for gas transmission and

distribution, solid waste disposal, heating, ventilation and cooling, chemical works, metallurgical

works, manufacturing, food processing and materials handling

• Special Works (SW) – are broken down into number of specialisations. Amongst them are

demolition of buildings, shaft sinking, corrosion protection systems, landscaping, irrigation and

horticultural works, installing escalators, etc.

• Activities: contractor development, Site preparation, Excavation, earth moving and tunneling,

Construction supervision and management, construction of buildings, homes, timber, carpentry, plant

operation, building construction and project management, construction of water supply, sewage and

storm water infrastructure

3. ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS

• This is the most contained subsector and has two groupings of electrical contractors:

electrical contractors for Infrastructure (EP) and electrical contractors for building (EB).

• EP Contractors develop, extend, install, remove, renovate alter or dismantle

engineering infrastructure concerned with generation, transmission and distribution of

electricity e.g. electrical power generation, street and area lighting, township

reticulations

• EB contractors focus on electrical installations in or any premises used for transmission

of electricity from point of control to point of transmission. They install all electrical

equipment in buildings such as wiring, cable jointing, laying and electrical overhead line

construction and provide verification and certification of electrical installations on

premises

3. BUILDING

• This subsector has 13 activities focused on the construction of buildings including

plumbing, shop fitting, bricklaying, roofing, glazing and fencing.

• This is an area where often jobs are subcontracted.

• The work of this subsector is largely dependent on the construction subsector, e.g. if no

buildings were erected, their pool of potential work would be restricted to maintenance

and renovation of existing buildings.

• This sector is often subcontracted to do work by large contractors. There are

interdependencies between the building and construction subsectors.

• Often the owner is the main worker/many of the building businesses are owner

employed.

• May fall under the informal sector as they employ few workers.

• Many of this businesses have a short lifespan as they depend on large contractor

projects to survive.
