About general construction services of civil engineering works

cpc code 542 covers a wide range of general construction services for civil engineering works. This industry plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of essential infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, dams, and buildings. Its services are vital for supporting economic growth, improving transportation networks, and enhancing the overall quality of life for communities. As a key contributor to the broader construction sector, this industry is closely tied to the performance of the broader economy.

Production process

The main production techniques used in this industry involve a combination of heavy machinery, specialized equipment, and skilled labor. Construction projects typically begin with site preparation, which may include excavation, grading, and the installation of foundations. Depending on the specific project, construction workers then proceed to erect the necessary structures, such as framing, masonry, and roofing. Throughout the process, various specialized trades, such as plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, are integrated to ensure the functionality and safety of the final product.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the general construction services of civil engineering works (542) include raw materials such as concrete, steel, lumber, and various building supplies. Additionally, this industry relies on a range of heavy equipment, such as cranes, excavators, and bulldozers, as well as specialized tools and machinery. A skilled workforce, including project managers, engineers, and construction workers, is also a critical input for the successful completion of construction projects.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are the completed civil engineering works, such as 541 Roads, bridges, and railways, 542 Dams and other waterworks, and 543 Buildings. These outputs are then consumed by various other industries, including 541 Transportation and storage, 542 Utilities, and 543 Real estate activities, which rely on the infrastructure and facilities provided by the general construction services industry.
