Construction

The construction sector is one of the biggest industries in Europe, employing more than 12 million EU citizens. Despite the impact of the economic downturn, the contribution of construction related activities in Europe is significant.  On average, the construction sector accounts for approximately 10% of European Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and about 7% of all employment, representing approximately 30% of industrial employment. 99% of enterprises in the European construction sector are SMEs, and they produce 80% of the sectors turnover. Standardisation is a very important issue in the sector. On a strategic level, SBS is active in the European Commission Construction Standing Committee, in charge of defining the European policy of the construction sector and approving harmonized standards, and the construction related CEN and EOTA horizontal working groups. Moreover, SBS is involved in many construction-related TCs important for SMEs.
