The habitat and urban services industry responds to any society¿s need for housing and related services. However, despite this need being constant, the evolution of the industry and its growth is reliant on the economic situation that shapes the purchase power of residents, the property market and public investment. This industry is home to a range of professional profiles dedicated to construction, which can be grouped into the different stages of construction, from construction work itself to the renovation of buildings and services dedicated to selling property, without forgetting occupations that involve controlling the safety and quality of materials and compliance with the established procedures. In turn, urban services are intrinsically associated with construction, as they respond to the maintenance and correct functioning needs of these urban habitats in a broader sense.
