Real Estate
Real estate is a legal term that encompasses land along with those improvements to it such as commercial and residential structures, roadways and ports that are all fixed in location. Meanwhile, construction is the process of building new infrastructure on real estate. Given their close inter-linkages, these sectors are often treated as one. Far from being a single activity, large scale real estate development is a feat of multitasking by a wide host of professionals, including financial analysts, legal experts, project managers, construction managers, design engineers and project architects, amongst others. The modern trend in construction design has been towards the integration of previously separated specialties, especially among large firms who offer themselves as "one-stop shops" for construction projects. In the past, architects, interior designers, engineers and developers were more likely to be entirely individual companies, even in the larger firms. Presently, a firm that is ostensibly an architecture firm may have experts from all related fields as employees, or it may have an associated company that provides each necessary skill. These design firms then work with the legal firms and financial companies to develop complete solutions. Performance The sector as a whole has been performing very well over the past decade, especially given the property prices rally experienced in most developed economies. Despite a correction in prices being anticipated, it came as a huge blow, accompanied as it was, by the worst recession since the Great Depression. Given sub-prime mortgages were the primary catalyst for the collapse of many leading financial institutions, leading to the economic recession, suffice to say, the industry came under heavy strain, especially in the United States. The inability to make the revised mortgage payments forced a huge number of foreclosures, creating excess supply and dramatic price falls. Meanwhile, with everyone tightening their belts, new construction halted for both commercial and residential projects, resulting in an even weaker market sentiment. Despite the dismal global scenario, the Indian market was somewhat shielded from the effects, as the economy as a whole remained more robust than its counterparts. Though private construction did not accelerate at the same pace as pre-2008, it remained positive. The largest players such as Indiabulls, GMR, Larsen & Toubro, DLF, Unitech and Grasim Industries sailed the storm and emerged relatively unscathed. Growth potential India is currently the second fastest-growing economy in the World. The Indian construction industry has been playing a vital role in overall economic development of the country, growing at over 20% CAGR over the past 5 years and contributing ~8% to GDP. In 2005, the sector generated around 31 million jobs (of which only ~1 million were generated by the organized sector). With the growing quantum of domestic and international capital inflow, economic growth is likely to continue, and with it, the demand for infrastructure to maintain and accelerate this trajectory. As a result, the public sector has remained a big investor in this sector, given the acute shortage of infrastructure in India compared to the requisite level required to achieve the next growth target. The Government of India proposes to achieve 9.0% GDP growth during the Eleventh Plan period. To achieve growth of this scale, adequate infrastructure is the most basic requirement. In order to overcome the current constraint of insufficient modern infrastructure, the government is developing a program for infrastructure investment through both public and private sectors, and expects to more than double public investments from ~1.2% of GDP in FY07 to 2.8% by FY12. It is also partnering with private companies on initiatives such as the ultra mega power projects and Golden Quadrilateral project. Future prospects Taking cue from the Governments ambitious projects lined up for the Eleventh Plan period, the demand for construction is expected to grow by at least 8-9%, and 2.5 million employment opportunities per annum are expected to be generated. Those looking for opportunities for accelerated learning and progress would be rewarded heavily. There is a need for the full spectrum of employees from directly linked professionals like civil and mechanical engineers and architects to per-day wage construction workers and indirectly linked industrial workers such as steel and cement manufacturers to highway toll booth operators. It would be wise to join a leading Indian company, or a multi-national with a local presence, even at the starting level, as there is significant scope for training and rapid upward movement through the ranks for talented individuals.

Construction sector is an industry that is cyclical in nature, which indicates that this sector reflects fluctuation in the national economy rapidly and sensitively. The development of construction industry is mostly similar to the development of construction industry in other countries of the world. The development of construction industry in India can be contributed to the requirement for infrastructural and industrial development after the independence of the country. Construction is the second largest economic activity in the country, after agriculture. The sector accounts for nearly 65% of the total investment in infrastructure and the sector is expected to be the biggest beneficiary of the surge in infrastructure investment for the next five years. The construction sector investment accounts to nearly 11% of the Gross Domestic Product of the country.
