What's the difference between 工事 and 建設?
建設 only means creating a new building, house, tower, bridge, highway, tunnel,
etc.

工事 has a much broader sense. It includes 建設, but it also refers to demolishing
a building, renovating a house, laying an optic fiber cable, fixing a broken
water supply pipe, installing an air conditioner, and so on.
