| dc.description.abstract | The study of the construction industry and its role in national economy has been extensively addressed. Traditional analysis of the construction industry has mainly focused on the building firm’s size, the structure of employment, and the division of building, civil engineering, and R & M construction works. Existing assumptions persist that structural changes will emerge in the construction industry of a particular country as the national economy develops over time. Bon (1992) analysing the role of the construction sector in economic development presented a development pattern of the construction industry based on stages in development. The main aspects of the development pattern were as follows: in the early stages of development, the share (percentage) resulting from construction in national output will increase, but ultimately will decrease in absolute and relative terms in more advanced industrial countries. Another important aspect of the development pattern is that while the share allotted to improvement and maintenance in total construction increases, the proportion for new construction decreases in the latest stages of development. Ruddock (1999) using more recent data collected from a large sample of countries representing all stages of economic development corroborated this proposition. | en |
