An established global benchmark is that GFCF should average between 20% and 30% of GDP and that construction investment should represent between 20% and 30% of GFCF (4% to 9% of GDP).

The construction economy is represented by all expenditure associated with fixed investment into physical infrastructure, production and commercial facilities and accommodation, as performed by general and specialist contractors, engineers, materials suppliers and service providers. It generally excludes the supply of process machinery and equipment.
