SWOT analysis is a planning method that can be used for evaluating the following elements for a company, business or project:

* Strengths.
* Weaknesses.
* Opportunities.
* Threats.

It works by identifying the objectives of a business or project before assessing the various, both internal and external, which are a help or hindrance to achieving those objectives. Opportunities can be identified which are capable of being exploited, while threats can be mitigated by understanding current weaknesses. Businesses can use SWOT analysis to try and increase their market competitiveness by differentiating themselves from rivals.

In construction, SWOT analysis can provide an indication for a company of where they stand within the market at any one time, enabling them to anticipate how changing economic conditions, new rivals, etc. might impact on their business.

= Strengths =

The strengths of a construction company can be found in their efficiency and ability to remain on-schedule, which demonstrates excellent project management skills. A prominent and well-established brand name is often considered a strength, as is a diversified range of projects. Factors that can be considered as part of an analysis of strengths include:

* The advantages the organisation has.
* What the organisation does better than others.
* Resources that can be drawn on distinct from others.
* The market’s view of the organisation’s strengths.

= Weaknesses =

Having a large proportion of business with one client, in one sector, or in one particular area, can leave a company vulnerable if there is an economic slow-down. Having an inferior management team or lacking certain skills and experience can also be seen as weakness for a company. Factors that can be considered as part of an analysis of weaknesses include:

* What the organisation could do to improve.
* What the organisation could avoid.
* The market’s view of the organisation’s weaknesses.
* Things about the organisation that could lose or be detrimental to business.

= Opportunities =

Opportunities can arise from expanding a business, changing government policy, leveraging existing operations, or by using expertise of a particular sector to anticipate where the market will go next. This involves keeping a close eye on the construction industry and trying to spot trends that can be exploited before rivals do.

= Threats =

Some threats to an organisation can be external and beyond control, such as a slow-down in the industry or a negative change in government policy (e.g. rising tax rates). Other threats may be internal, such as poor management, debt or cash flow problems, lack of reinvestment in the business, not hiring the right expertise, and so on. Factors that can be considered as part of an analysis of threats include:

* The potential obstacles.
* The steps being taken by rivals.
* Changing standards or regulations.
* Changing technology.
* Whether any of the identified weaknesses could threaten the business.
