When someone works in construction, it can mean wildly different things. You can be a dock builder, a carpenter, a mason, steelworker, you can build small closets or large skyscrapers. You can work in industrial, residential, or commercial settings. You can work in a team of 5 or 500 people.
Programming is the construction of the 21st century. It is extremely diverse.
