Commercial and Institutional Building Construction

Establishments in the Commercial and Institutional Building Construction industry primarily engage in the construction of non-residential buildings, including commercial, institutional, and industrial structures. The core activities include new construction, additions, alterations, or maintenance and repairs of buildings such as offices, schools, hospitals, and retail stores. This industry is distinguished from residential building construction by its focus on non-residential projects and from heavy and civil engineering construction by its emphasis on building structures rather than infrastructure projects like roads or bridges.
