The construction industry continues to represent one of the most important sectors of the local economy.  Not only does it contribute to a significant portion of the country’s GDP but it is also one of the sectors that carries a significant portion of the labour force with encouraging growth rates in both areas.  It is thus not surprising that the State of the Construction Industry Report be deemed as an important document to all those stakeholders who are in some way or another already involved in the construction industry or those who are contemplating moving into this sector.
