Building construction means any physical activity on the site involved in the erection of a structure, cladding, external finish, formwork, fixture, fitting of service installation, and the unloading of plant, machinery, materials, or the likes. Building construction provides homes, offices, factories, health facilities, courts, legislative assemblies, hospitality, security facilities, religious facilities, counseling and care facilities, and many other places of great importance to living.
Despite the huge importance of building construction in the world, there is always a massive deficit in buildings concerning population needs from basic shelter to other amenities; the world lacks much-needed buildings especially in developing communities discriminated against by unchecked free-market capitalism.
Compassionate Capitalism recognizes the huge importance of building construction and observes the need through the development rankings helping to bridge the development divide and increase access through knowledge and information, capital investments, project creation, industrialization, supply chain enhancements, fair trade practices, and more.
