construction sector

Building trades collectively

The construction sector is the part of an economy devoted to building and infrastructure—residential homes, commercial buildings, roads, bridges, and utilities.

Economic analysts track this sector as an indicator of broader growth, since construction activity reflects confidence in future demand: Housing starts signal strength in the construction sector.

Sometimes shortened to simply construction.
