History

Historians say that what we know as traditional construction started in Ancient Egypt. The Egyptian pyramids are one of the first instances of large-scale permanent structures. Most pyramid buildings took place between 2,550 – 2,400 BCE. The history of construction is as old as the history of humanity. From mud huts and megalithic stones to mega highways and skyscrapers, the evolution of construction reflects mankind’s ever-growing mastery of raw materials and technology. Whether creating a megaproject or single-family home, the construction industry has become increasingly focused on sustainability. Society has grown more aware of climate change, the depletion of natural resources, and the human impact on natural habitats.
