The social, economic, cultural, demographic and political changes that have occurred in Zambia have not spared the Construction industry which is one of the oldest in the country.
Liberalization of the economy and privatization of parastatal companies in the early 1990s saw a decline in standards in the construction industry, but currently, there has been a boom and the introduction of new technology in the construction of modern structures including housing units.
