What F includes

• This major section encompasses general and specialized construction activities for buildings and civil engineering works. It includes new construction, repairs, additions, and alterations; the assembly of prefabricated structures on-site; and the construction of temporary structures.
• General construction encompasses the building of residential properties, office buildings, retail spaces, public and utility structures, and agricultural facilities, among others. It also includes civil engineering projects such as highways, roads, bridges, tunnels, railways, airports, ports, and other maritime infrastructure; irrigation and drainage systems; industrial facilities; pipelines and power lines; as well as sports grounds and related amenities.
• Construction activities classified herein can be carried out as a standalone business, for a fee, or under contract. Partial or wholly of the work may be subcontracted to others. This also includes building repair and engineering activities.
• This section is divided into three subcategories: − Construction of buildings (division 41) − Civil engineering (division 42) − Specialized construction activities (division 43) — provided that such activities are part of the construction process. This also includes the rental of construction equipment with an operator, which is classified under this section based on the type of equipment being used.
• This also includes activities related to developing building construction projects or civil engineering works resulting from investment by combining capital and technical and physical tools to build for resale. However, if such activities are not undertaken for resale but for the owner's own operation, such as building one's own building for rent or building one's own factory to produce goods, they should be classified according to the nature of the activity: real estate activities and manufacturing activities, respectively, but not in construction activities.
