Construction
This section includes general construction and specialised construction activities for buildings and civil engineering works. It includes new work, repair, additions and alterations, the erection of prefabricated buildings or structures on the site as well as construction of a temporary nature. General construction is the construction of entire buildings for e.g., homes, offices, stores, as well as utility buildings or farm buildings etc. It also includes the construction of civil engineering works such as motorways, streets, bridges, tunnels, railways, airfields, harbours and other water projects, irrigation systems, sewerage systems, industrial facilities, pipelines and electric lines, sports facilities etc. This work can be carried out on own account or on a fee or contract basis, including intermediation service activities for construction. 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. Also included is the repair of buildings and engineering works. Maintenance, repair and installation of equipment that forms an integral part of buildings, e.g. escalators or air-conditioning systems, is classified as construction in section F, if carried out at the construction site. This section includes the complete construction of buildings (division 41), the complete construction of civil engineering works (division 42), as well as specialised construction activities, if carried out only as a part of the construction process (division 43). The rental of construction equipment with operator is classified with the specific construction activity carried out with this equipment.

Frequently asked questions
What does Section F cover in NIC-2025?
Section F (Construction) is a top-level sector of NIC-2025. It groups 3 divisions and 56 activity codes that share this broad economic area.
Do I register a business using a section letter?
No. Registrations such as Udyam, GST and company incorporation use the numeric NIC code (4, 5 or 6 digits), not the section letter. The section only tells you which part of the classification to explore. Open a division below to reach the specific code for your activity.
How do I find the exact NIC code inside Section F?
Drill down from a division to a group, then a class, then the sub-class that matches your activity. You can also use the search box to jump straight to a code by activity name. If you are unsure, IncorpX provides assistance for selecting the correct code for your registrations.
