Austria's construction industry with a gross annual production worth some 30 billion Euro and a quarter million strong workforce is a key economic factor. Not only follow multiple economic effects in its wake that influence numerous areas of commerce along the economical chain but it also provides an unusually high in-country added value factor. As such it is an important catalyst for the economy as a whole.
In an economy based on the division of labour, the construction industry's efforts do not only serve basic requirements of the people – housing to name but one – but are an essential requirement to stand one's ground in the highly competitive market of international locations. Construction investments in the form of modern infrastructure provide the foundations required for private investments such as more companies settling in the area – with the effect of creating employment. This brochure shows quite impressively that thanks to their highly rated technical performance, Austria's construction companies are well prepared to continue playing a constructive part in shaping Austria's future not only at home but also abroad. |
