What does 'construction' specifically refer to?

  1. Only new builds

  2. Creating or enhancing buildings or structures

  3. Maintenance of existing structures

  4. Land surveying

The correct answer is: Creating or enhancing buildings or structures

The term 'construction' specifically refers to creating or enhancing buildings or structures, as reflected in the correct option. This encompasses a wide variety of activities, including not just the initial building phase but also renovations, additions, and improvements to existing structures. This broad definition captures the essence of construction as an evolving process that involves both the creation of new architectural works and the enhancement of existing ones. Regarding the other options, new builds are just a part of the overall construction process and do not cover the full range of activities involved. Maintenance of existing structures falls under a separate category that focuses on preserving and repairing rather than creating or enhancing. Similarly, land surveying is a distinct profession that involves measuring and mapping land, which is crucial for construction planning but does not directly involve the act of building or altering structures. Thus, option B accurately encompasses the broader scope of what construction entails.
