What Is Civil Construction?
Civil construction is the process of constructing public infrastructure and buildings on a large scale, such as bridges, dams, roads, airports, railways or other public works projects. The civil construction process involves tasks like demolition, land clearing, excavation, earthmoving and other specialised services such as concreting and pile driving.
Civil engineering and construction companies require extensive knowledge and understanding of building materials, engineering principles, construction methods and safety regulations. If you need assistance with a civil construction project in Alice Springs, Jaws Contracting (NT) Pty Ltd has got you covered.

What Are the Stages of Civil Construction?
Civil construction is a complex process with multiple stages. For larger projects, some of these stages can take months or even years to complete.
Generally speaking, this construction involves the following steps:
- Site Selection & Preparation: Before any construction can begin, the location must be selected and prepped for development. This includes assessing the land for legal regulations, surveying the terrain and making sure all other necessary considerations are taken into account.
- Design Development: During this stage, civil engineers develop detailed architectural drawings for the project based on input from the project manager, governing bodies, clients and stakeholders. The design should consider cost, sustainability requirements and other relevant factors before it's approved by local authorities.
- Construction: Once approval has been granted, the construction team can start building. This stage involves a lot of different processes and tasks such as earthmoving and excavation, installation of infrastructure like sewer systems and roadways, and erecting buildings or other structures according to the design plan.
- Commissioning: After construction is complete, various tests must be performed to ensure everything is functioning properly. This process also includes making sure safety procedures are in place before opening the facility to the public.
How Does Civil Construction Differ From Other Types of Construction?
