national industry 236210

Industrial Building Construction

Overview

This industry comprises establishments primarily responsible for the construction (including new work, additions, alterations, maintenance, and repairs) of industrial buildings (except warehouses). The construction of selected additional structures, whose production processes are similar to those for industrial buildings (e.g., incinerators, cement plants, blast furnaces, and similar nonbuilding structures), is included in this industry. Included in this industry are industrial building general contractors, industrial building for- sale builders, industrial building design-build firms, and industrial building construction management firms.

The immediate parent of national industry 236210 is international industry 23621: Industrial Building Construction
