1 General The nature and the needs of the construction activity can be very different in different parts of the world. Figure 1 illustrates how the development stages of the construction activity change as the share of construction in Gross National Profit decreases in course of development of the society. Figure 2, in turn, shows that among the industrialized countries, only in Japan this relation has remained on the high level of the 1960's and 70's.
