CONSTRUCTION
What this code covers
Use this section for cONSTRUCTION when the main activity includes General construction is the construction of entire buildings (for example, homes, offices, stores as well as utility buildings or farm buildings). It also includes the construction of civil engineering works (for example, motorways, streets, bridges, tunnels, railways, airfields, harbours and other water projects, irrigation systems, sewerage systems, industrial facilities, pipelines and electric lines, sports facilities). and This work can be carried out on own account or on a fee or contract basis. Portions of the work and sometimes even the whole practical work can be subcontracted out. A main contractor that carries the overall responsibility for a construction project is classified here.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.

- Further included is the repair of buildings and engineering works. Maintenance, repair and installation of equipment that forms an integral part of buildings (for example, escalators or air-conditioning systems) is classified as construction in section F, if carried out at the construction site.
- manufacturing operations not performed at the construction site, see section C
- manufacture and deliverance of structures and prefabricated building parts in wood or metal with minimal on-site construction work, see divisions 16, 25
- archaeological excavations, see 72.20
- conservation, restoration and other cultural heritage support activities, see 91.30
- Compare with 16, 25, 72.20 when the main activity overlaps another code.
- Review the Rev. 2 to Rev. 2.1 mapping type before migrating old records.
- Check national equivalent caveats before using this code for local registration or filing workflows.
- If the main revenue activity appears in an exclusion, compare the alternative code before deciding.

What is NACE F used for?
Use NACE F for construction when the main activity matches this scope: Use this section for cONSTRUCTION when the main activity includes General construction is the construction of entire buildings (for example, homes, offices, stores as well as utility buildings or farm buildings). It also includes the construction of civil engineering works (for example, motorways, streets, bridges, tunnels, railways, airfields, harbours and other water projects, irrigation systems, sewerage systems, industrial facilities, pipelines and electric lines, sports facilities). and This work can be carried out on own account or on a fee or contract basis. Portions of the work and sometimes even the whole practical work can be subcontracted out. A main contractor that carries the overall responsibility for a construction project is classified here.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for F?
Typical examples include General construction is the construction of entire buildings (for example, homes, offices, stores as well as utility buildings or farm buildings). It also includes the construction of civil engineering works (for example, motorways, streets, bridges, tunnels, railways, airfields, harbours and other water projects, irrigation systems, sewerage systems, industrial facilities, pipelines and electric lines, sports facilities)., This work can be carried out on own account or on a fee or contract basis. Portions of the work and sometimes even the whole practical work can be subcontracted out. A main contractor that carries the overall responsibility for a construction project is classified here., and Further included is the repair of buildings and engineering works. Maintenance, repair and installation of equipment that forms an integral part of buildings (for example, escalators or air-conditioning systems) is classified as construction in section F, if carried out at the construction site..
When might F not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to manufacturing operations not performed at the construction site, see section C and manufacture and deliverance of structures and prefabricated building parts in wood or metal with minimal on-site construction work, see divisions 16, 25.
Which codes should I compare before choosing F?
Compare F with 16 Manufacture of wood and of products of wood and cork, except furniture; manufacture of articles of straw and plaiting materials, 25 Manufacture of fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment, and 72.20 Research and experimental development on social sciences and humanities when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this division for manufacture of wood and of products of wood and cork, except furniture; manufacture of articles of straw and plaiting materials when the main activity includes With the exception of sawmilling, this division is subdivided mainly based on the specific products manufactured.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for manufacture of fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment when the main activity includes The manufacture of weapons and ammunition is also included in this division.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
