    Abstract

    n This paper provides an overview of the construction market in Sri Lanka, with a focus on the Colombo region. It discusses the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and constraints of the construction market in the country. The main drivers of the construction sector are identified, including urbanization and infrastructure development. The paper explores the ease of embarking on international construction projects within the Colombo region, noting that while the Sri Lankan government encourages foreign investment, the local construction industry may not always welcome foreign companies. China and India are recognized as key players in the Sri Lankan construction sector. The ease of embarking on international construction projects within the Colombo region is explored. It is noted that while the Sri Lankan government allows foreign investment in infrastructure projects, the local construction industry is not always receptive to foreign construction companies.
