WHY IS CONSTRUCTION IMPORTANT
One of the first businesses developed
Virtually all other businesses rely on construction
People spend 90% of their time indoors
Major impact on health and well-being

WHY IS CONSTRUCTION IMPORTANT
Total Annual Revenues ~ $10 trillion
Added value ~$3.6 trillion
6% of global GDP
Employs over 100 million people
Largest global consumer of resources and raw materials
