BUILD A BETTER FUTURE WITH A FRANCHISE
 New homes and large commercial developments seem to be continually increasing, especially in outer suburban areas. The lure of renovating remains very popular for many existing home owners, as an alternative to building from scratch. Then there are others who are keen to improve the value of their properties by adding a room, a swimming pool or spa, or fencing.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) states that construction has a major influence on everyone: it provides the homes in which we live, the places in which most of us work and play, our schools and hospitals, and infrastructure.
The building industry engages in three broad areas of activity – residential building (houses, flats, etc); non-residential building (offices, shops, hotels, etc); and engineering construction (roads, bridges, water, sewerage, etc).
Engaged in all three categories is the private sector, which includes franchising. The ABS has indicated that for the quarter ended March 2008, the value of these three groups was around $30 million.
