    Note

    The regular -s plural, used whenever construction is being counted. That covers individual built things, such as buildings, models, collages and other non-representational structures. It also covers distinct ways of building something, as when two bridges' constructions are compared. The process and the trade are usually treated as mass nouns, so pluralizing them tends to mean separate projects rather than more of the activity.
