When you look around you, you realize construction has taken place in every part of our environment. From the houses we live in, to the kiosk next door to the roads we walk on every day, everything is a manifestation of the construction industry. Therefore this industry is very significant as it serves diverse needs for the society.

Have you ever asked yourself when this construction thing all began? Yes, and you are yet to find out. Construction started way back in the Stone Age. It is not clear at exactly which year the first construction was done however researchers say that it dates way back before 12,000BC.

The most fascinating thing is the materials used during the Stone Age were: mammoth ribs, animal skin, wood, bamboo, clay etc. This is evident that the construction industry has evolved immensely over the years as the methods and materials used now are totally different.

Today the design process of construction is highly organized as materials that facilitate the durability are considered as well as the contractors who hire skilled craftsmen and consultants who specialize in construction management, quality control and insurance.

So much creativity has also been seen in the construction industry due to a variety of structures that have been built over the years and are now tourist attraction sites such Burj Khalifa in Dubai the tallest building in the world,

The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt,

and The Eiffel Tower in Paris, France among others.

We can clearly say that there is a promising future in the construction industry and in the next few years more iconic structures will be built and outdo the existing ones.
