Iowa Admin. Code r. 871-23.82

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 10, November 13, 2024

Rule 871-23.82 - Definition of construction employer

(1) Construction. The department will utilize the North America Industry Classification System manual (2017 edition) to determine which employers will be classified as construction. The manual is available on the Internet to view or download at www.census.gov/eos/www/naics.

a. The construction sector is comprised of establishments primarily engaged in the construction of buildings and other structures, heavy construction (except buildings), additions, alterations, reconstruction, installation, and maintenance and repairs. Establishments engaged in demolition or wrecking of buildings and other structures, clearing of building sites, and sale of materials from demolished structures are also included. This sector also includes those establishments engaged in blasting, test drilling, landfill, leveling, earth moving, excavating, land drainage, and other land preparation. The industries within this sector have been defined on the basis of their unique production processes. As with all industries, the production processes are distinguished by their use of specialized human resources and specialized physical capital. Construction activities are generally administered or managed at a relatively fixed place of business, but the actual construction work is performed at one or more different project sites. Employers that provide workers primarily for construction will be classified as construction employers.

b. This sector is divided into three subsectors of construction activities:

(1) building construction and land subdivision and land development;

(2) heavy construction (except buildings), such as highways, power plants, and pipelines; and

(3) construction activity by special trade contractors.

c. Establishments classified in Subsector 233, Building, Developing, and General Contracting, and Subsector 234, Heavy Construction, usually assume responsibility for an entire construction project, and may subcontract some or all of the actual construction work. Operative builders who build on their own account for sale and land subdividers and land developers, who engage in subdividing real property into lots for sale, are included in Subsector 233, Building, Developing, and General Contracting. (Special trade contractors are included in Subsector 234, Heavy Construction, if they are engaged in activities primarily relating to heavy construction, such as grading for highways.) Establishments included in these subsectors operate as general contractors, design-builders, engineer-constructors, joint-venture contractors, and turnkey construction contractors. Establishments identified as construction management firms are also included.

d. Establishments classified in Subsector 235, Special Trade Contractors, are primarily engaged in specialized construction activities, such as plumbing, painting, and electrical work, and work for builders and general contractors under subcontract or directly for project owners. Establishments engaged in demolition or wrecking of buildings and other structures, dismantling of machinery, excavating, shoring and underpinning, anchored earth retention activities, foundation drilling, and grading for buildings are also included in this subsector.

e. "Force account" construction is construction work performed by an establishment primarily engaged in some business other than construction, for its own account and use, and by employees of the establishment. This activity is not included in this industry sector unless the construction work performed is the primary activity of a separate establishment of the enterprise.

f. The installation of prefabricated building equipment and materials, such as elevators and revolving doors, is classified in the construction sector. Installation work incidental to sales by employees of a manufacturing or retail establishment is classified as an activity of those establishments.

(2) The term "construction" includes, but is not limited to:

a.Land subdividing and land development. Establishments primarily engaged in subdividing real property into lots or developing lots for sale.

(3)The assignment of standard industrial codes. Each operating establishment is assigned an industry code on the basis of its primary activity, which is determined by its principal product or group of products produced or distributed, or services rendered. Ideally, the principal product or service should be determined by its relative share of value added at the establishment. Since this is not possible for all sectors of the economy, the following should be used as a guide for determining industry codes:

Division	Data Measure
Agriculture, forestry and fishing (except agricultural services)	Value of production
Mining	Value of production
Construction	Value of production
Manufacturing	Value of production
Transportation, communication, electric, gas and sanitary services	Value of receipts or revenues
Wholesale trade	Value of sales
Retail trade	Value of sales
Finance, insurance, and real estate	Value of receipts
Service (including agricultural services)	Value of receipts or revenues
Public administration	Employment or payroll

In some cases it will not be possible to determine even on an estimated basis the value of production or similar appropriate measure for each product or service. In other cases an industrial classification based on measures of output will not accurately reflect the importance of the diversified activities. In these cases, employment or payroll should be used in lieu of the normal basis for determining the primary activity and subsequent code assignment of the establishment.

This rule is intended to conform to federal changes in the North American Industry Classification System and implements Iowa Code sections 96.7(2), 96.7(3), 96.7(4) and 96.11(1).
