Classification Structure - Subdivision 680000 - Construction (See Division 2, Introduction for more information)
Subdivision 680000 - Construction, covers R&D directed towards construction. It includes R&D directed towards improving the use and performance of building materials, the processes for which they are used and the functions of engineering, planning, design, management and building services in the construction industry.
680200 - Design 680300 - Materials Performance and Processes 680400 - Construction Processes 680500 - Building Management and Services 680600 - Prevention and Treatment of Pollution Exclusions: R&D directed towards the: (a) manufacture of materials used in construction is included in the appropriate groups in Subdivision 670000 Manufacturing; and (b) environmental health considerations in construction is included in Subdivision 730000 Health, Group 730200 Public Health.
This group covers R&D directed towards improving the activities associated with the development of construction projects to the sketch plan stage, including urban planning, environmental impact studies, investigation of alternatives, market surveys, information gathering and assessment, geotechnical considerations, conceptual architectural design and project funding. This group has five classes: 680101 - Housing 680102 - Commercial 680103 - Civil 680104 - Industrial 680199 - Other
This group covers R&D directed towards improving the associated activities which turn a project sketch plan into detailed architectural and engineering designs and specifications and towards the development of building regulations and design codes. 680201 - Housing 680202 - Commercial 680203 - Civil 680204 - Industrial 680299 - Other
This group covers R&D directed towards testing the performance, durability and life cycle of components and materials which are delivered or assembled on construction sites. The testing of performance, durability or life cycle of building materials on existing buildings is also included in this group. Examples of building materials on which testing is carried out are steel elements and assemblies, concrete, reinforcing bars, precast concrete elements, bricks, blocks, plasterboard, roof tiles, timber and plastic and aluminium components, such as windows, frames and piping. This group has six classes: 680301 - Stone, ceramics and clay materials 680302 - Cement and concrete materials 680303 - Polymeric materials (e.g. paints) 680304 - Timber materials 680305 - Metals (composites, coatings, bonding, etc.) 680399 - Other
This group covers R&D directed towards improving the associated processes or activities which translate plans and specifications into a finished building. 680401 - Housing 680402 - Commercial 680403 - Civil 680404 - Industrial 680499 - Other Exclusions: R&D directed towards 'clean production' to minimise emissions to the environment from construction processes or towards protection of the production site is included in Group 680600 Prevention and Treatment of Pollution.
This group covers R&D directed towards the design and installation of building services such as lifts, air-conditioning, plumbing, electrical services, communication networks, security and fire alarm systems. R&D directed towards the maintenance or servicing of these services is also included in this group. 680501 - Housing 680502 - Commercial 680503 - Civil 680504 - Industrial 680599 - Other
This group covers R&D directed towards 'clean production' to minimise emissions to the environment from construction or towards protection of the production site. This group has five classes: 680601 - Planning 680602 - Design 680603 - Materials performance and processes 680604 - Construction processes 680605 - Building management and services
