Dear Alibaba members:

In order to make searching for products simpler and more efficient, Alibaba will soon update and improve the current "Construction & Real Estate" category.
What ideas do you have to make it even easier to find exactly what you need?

Your advice will help create categories that really suit you!

Some possible areas to consider: 
l *Are the current categories suitable for your products? 
l *Do some categories need additional sub-categories or attributes?
l *Are some categories confusing? Why?
l *Are any categories in the wrong location?
l *Have you found clearer categories on other websites? What are they?
l *Do you have any other related suggestions or comments?

Please leave your thoughts and suggestions below.

Perhaps construction is different from real estate.

I want to sell used construction equipment, and finding the category is confusing.

I also would prefer the chance to make money before website makes it too hard for free members.

Hello there,

The way alibaba.com has posted construction and real estate, its missing out on another possible service for international trading.

When you combine construction and real estate, you get more into the building materials, the machinery, etc. So no wonder when someone is looking for real estate its confusing for them to find, a container for construction being sold there.

There should be construction and property building separate then Real Estate.

And in the Real estate section it should be divided between renting and buying, along with the whole categories that you already provide in real estate just more refined. There are alots of business man who travel extensively, or as discussed in many forums on here, who want to open up a office in another country, but don´t know the rates the terms and conditions.

This will give Alibaba.com another platform for traders to deal in, and increase volume of estates offered, and its only a minor change. In turn more members will be attracted, since then alibaba is filling out another gap in the international Real Estate trading, easy to access for all, and links more traders and countries together.

The construction section should stay as it is, there i feel its all good.

Thanks for interchanging Ideas from us Members.

Replying to [Admin4]:I am in the Construction field and I am always trying to find the correct placement for our information. Real Estate is a seperate entity from Construction. The Construction section does not have a Safety Coatings or Sealant section. There is no Nano Technology section. I realize this is the newest field of Construction. there are quite a few products available with Nanotechnology. The Sealants and Coatings are providing Insulation, Fire protection, Concrete Strengthening Sealants, Metal Protection, Anti Microbial Barriers, as well as Anti Corrosion Coatings. I am sorry but I am not sure how to break these up.
