Welcome to our page featuring volunteer opportunities in construction, traditional building, and eco-building.

What is construction?

Construction refers to the processes, works, and interventions involved in building, modifying, repairing, or demolishing a building. It involves technical and production process activities that are distinct from the architectural process.

The main phases of the construction process are design, construction, management, and maintenance. Building sectors involve specific skills and can include:

  • demolitions,
  • excavations,
  • earthmoving,
  • foundations,
  • masonry,
  • partition walls,
  • curtain walls,
  • smoothing,
  • paintings,
  • waterproofing and insulation,
  • flooring and wall coverings,
  • reinforced concrete structures,
  • steel structures,
  • works in iron/steel/aluminium,
  • glassworks,
  • hydraulics,
  • electricity and electrical engineering,
  • air conditioning and treatment plants,
  • marble processing,
  • carpentry.
