“Nationally, the construction industry is largely decentralized and generally in a defensive mode. » (Building for Tomorrow) It is understandable that many foreign conglomerates want to buy domestic companies, but there are many smaller companies that provide a balance to prevent a total takeover. In the international construction market, competition is intense and cost competition largely reduces the potential for domestic market expansion abroad. (Building for Tomorrow)SWOT AnalysisThe strengths of the construction industry include the sustainability of the sector, but not as much for individual companies. Government contracts are a big draw to the industry and offer well-paying opportunities, as well as creating from scratch something designed to be a home. Weaknesses include the decentralized part of the industry which seems unstable even though the industry itself never disappears.

However, parts for construction are largely manufactured overseas, further limiting the potential of domestic companies. The high cost of starting a construction business is also a deterrent for new entrepreneurs in the sector.
