Abstract
The two preceding chapters on demand for construction, started by considering the factors which were relevant to the decision to build in a broad sector of demand, and the theoretical concepts which were of assistance in understanding the interrelationships of the relevant factors. This chapter deals with a heterogeneous sector of construction in which the common features are that the product is used by a large number of persons or households collectively — for example, hospitals, museums, roads, schools — or that it is used by persons or households individually, but who individually are neither able nor willing to pay for the product, but which the ‘community’ decides should be available.
