A construction is a structure connected with the ground which is made of construction materials and components and/or for which construction work is carried out. In this respect, the preparation of soil, planting or sowing etc. for agricultural purposes are not regarded as constructions.
This meaning of construction is to be distinguished from the construction sector, the activity sector of construction grouping enterprises with as main activity construction work (NACE Section F), which sometimes is also called 'construction' for short.
