quite some time, this state however is improving owing to investment in housing &
commercial spaces providing ample space for the contracting work to notch up the growth
curve. The industry is supposed to grow at a rate of 2% until 2020 taking the revenue up to $
21.4Bn. The industry generates 70% of its revenue from repair work, maintenance and
installation activities in non-residential and residential property markets and the remaining
pie from work in industrial & engineering markets. The demand from heavy industrial &
non-building construction might decline for the time being, but at the same time contractors
