Query abt Concept

[amateur mariner]

Hi everybody!

Can somebody tell me the difference between construction and fabrication?I have several ideas and i m not sure what is the correct answer.

I would say that construction is a general term for building regardless of scale and complexity, but fabrication is limited to constructions that are simple "jobs".
You might say you are constructing a boat, and you're having the stainless fittings fabricated at a local shop. Usually, a trade such as welding or some sort of specialization is involved. Factory-made parts are maunufactured, but not fabricated.
So I'm trying to construct a good definition here, but It may be a bit of a fabrication.

Naahhh Alan, the answer was of good construction. IMHO
The question might be substantiated by origin of amateur (anywhere). In many languages "construction" means "design, engineering" and not producing, assembling "constructing" as in English!
