Nonresidential Building Construction

Establishments in the Nonresidential Building Construction industry primarily engage in the construction of nonresidential buildings, including commercial, industrial, and institutional structures. The core activities involve new work, additions, alterations, or maintenance and repairs of buildings such as office buildings, schools, hospitals, and warehouses. This industry is distinguished from residential building construction by its focus on structures intended for nonresidential use, and from heavy and civil engineering construction by its emphasis on building construction rather than infrastructure projects like roads or bridges.
