Hmmm let me think

Do your research The one that pays better

Check the company that critically suits your career expectations/progression and apply.

You get to do hands-on course-related tasks in a construction job, while you move over vast borders in real estate - Eko Atlantic and the likes come to mind..

Construction company

Follow your intent.
Most real estate firms are now into construction.

as a young civil engineer, construction firm will provide you rooms to learn from the best hands in the industries even at times you learn from the expertraits if lucky. this will help you alot in solving different engineering problems but real estate will limit you to building since it's a repetetional works in different locations.....

Depends on what you want out of your career. Construction firms have a wider scope of projects. Ranging from Roads, Railways, bridges,dams, stadiums and housing infrastructure. Real Estate on the other hand is mostly focused on Housing. The choice is yours.

It depends, are you a fresh graduate? If yes, go for construction company and gain experience. After 2 or 3 years you don turn hot cake if you know your way. Real Estate won't give you the experience you need to strive in the field.

Construction for sure.

You would be exposed to a variety of civil disciplines and build yourself a solid foundation.

Real estate/developer. If you are not the owner of firm, you won't enjoy it. It's also a narrow career path for a civil guy to follow. It's basically residential construction with most building plans already in place. You would just likely be a site supervisor or supretendent and that's about it. The municipal aspect of the development would still highly likely be contracted out to a construction firm.

If you are a fresh graduate, I'll advise to choose the construction company as it would give you a headstart for your career.

For your career , definitely a construction firm will do. You can expand your horizon and grow through the ranks. For real estate, not bad, but just a part of Engineering. Like the structural part of their buildings and other possible Civil Engineering structures. It is the Builders' and Architects ' domain.

A construction company for the experience.

It is also easier to go on and start up a private construction company later in life unlike a real estate company

As a Civil Engineer, go for construction company that is if the company doesn't limit their activities only on Building but involve in other construction like Road, bridge, Retaining wall e.t.c that's where you can get full knowledge of structural design and analysis which is the key discipline of Civil Engineers.

Real Estate work is mainly on Building and it's even worse if the company only doing bungalow.

Hi , I'm Adesile from Ibadan and I have National diploma in Civil Engineering. I will be glad to learn from you.

This advice above is ok: In construction, u learn from the experts/Expatriates. In Construction, u will be multicompetence, because of diversity of their projects.

Before you advice anyone on issues please be experienced in it.. Firstly what aspect of real estate are you talking about ? Is it marketing or construction of various unit of housing. Where there might be profit sharing if you happen to make sales. However it won't be much of an experience to you at the long run, because just anyone can be a marketer.. Having spend more than 7 years in the construction industry in almost all aspects. Road , bridges , towers, and even the dangote refinery and Petrochemical project.. I will advise you to go for construction, the experience is second to non. You will grow in your career, and who says you can't do both.. you can be working on site and as well posting blocks of duplexes , terraces and others on social media and even be contracted for private project. trust me you better of in the Construction industry as a great start to a career.
Well done my civil Engineer.
