What are the upstream and downstream industries in the construction industry?

The downstream of the construction industry is the sales and management industry of real estate and engineering, and the upstream industry lies in the production of building materials. The construction industry refers to the material production department engaged in the survey, design, construction and maintenance of existing buildings in the national economy.

According to the industry classification catalogue of the national economy, the construction industry, as one of the thirteen branches of the national economy, consists of the following three categories: civil engineering construction industry; Line, pipeline and equipment installation industry, survey and design industry. The function of the construction industry is mainly to carry out construction and installation activities on various building materials and components, machinery and equipment, and to build productive and unproductive fixed assets for the national economy.

The main features of the construction industry are:

First, the liquidity of production.

In the production process of a product, construction workers and machines and tools should flow up and down and left and right along the construction objects in different construction parts, and constantly change the working place. In order to adapt to the frequent changes of construction conditions, most construction machines and tools are relatively small or easy to move, and there are many manual operations, which affects the development of construction technology to some extent.

Second, the oneness of production.

Because of the different functional requirements, natural conditions and socio-economic conditions of buildings or structures, each project has its own unique engineering design and construction organization design, so the product price must be determined separately and the cost accounting must be carried out separately.

Third, the production cycle is long.

The construction period of large-scale projects is often in years, and construction preparation takes a long time. Therefore, it often takes up a lot of manpower, material resources and funds for a long time in production, and it is impossible to provide useful products in a short time. ④ There are many open-air and aerial operations, which are greatly influenced by natural climatic conditions, and the quality and safety problems are outstanding.
