1.1 BACKGROUND:
Construction is an activity, which cuts across almost all sectors of the economy. It is an activity, which
transforms various resources into economical and social infrastructure and facilities. It includes all
phases of the process of transformation viz.- planning, designing, financing, procurement, construction,
operations etc. The construction sector is an essential contributor to the process of development. It
usually accounts for three percent to eight percent of a developing countrys Gross Domestic Product.
In the context of liberalization of the Indian economy, domestic and foreign investment is likely to flow
into various infrastructure projects in a big way. This is more so, taking into consideration the conferring
of industry status to the construction sector by the Government of India.
Fluctuations in construction demand affect the economy in many ways. They affect the demand for
labour and materials as well as the lag time taken to supply the industrys output. Backward and forward
linkages affect the working of a wide range of operations. In fact, construction industry has been ranked
among the top four out of twenty economic sectors in terms of inter sectoral linkages. These linkages
together with a high value added output ratio, indicates that construction provides a substantive
growth stimulus throughout the economy. Its importance as an agent for development is enhanced by
its ability to provide gainful employment for a large number of people.

data including complete details like building parameters, grade of steel, secondary member details,
paint coat on steel members, welding, anchor bolts steel grade, roof & wall liner / panel, insulation, sky
light, gutters, facia, mezzanine, ridge ventilation to name a few. Following this input, the drawings for
general arrangement, Anchor Bolt & Template Fabrication & Erection are prepared.
