Business ideas for civil engineers startup?

Inspired from the several discussions going on CrazyEngineers about business ideas for electrical engineers, I thought we should have one for civil engineers as well. A lot of engineers from the top institutes in India are going for their own startups or small-scale businesses right after graduation. The scenario is different in colleges from the smaller cities. There are no core companies visiting the campus for placements of civil engineers and most B.E./B.Tech Civil branch graduates are left with the only option of self-employment.

Now there's no dearth of ideas for business in the civil engineering industry. In fact, from what I am reading in the recent times, the entire infrastructure and construction industry is due for a major technological revolution. More than ever, now is the time to startup in this arena.

Areas that I think are very relevant business idea mongers for civil engineers:

1. Sustanability by designing
2. Rapid construction
3. Solar powered homes and offices
4. Green construction materials: rice husk, fly ash etc.
5. Automation of execution
6. Innovation in the designs

I am sure together we can come up some really workable business ideas that those looking for options can take up.

    I had a startup idea in mind which involves rigorous participation from Civil engineers, architects, interior designers etc :
    Green Affordable Housing. These have been in practice in the west and it can easily be started in India as well. They range from ship container conversions, used airplane to be developed into housing societies etc.
    I have also posted a wiki link which also focuses on green buildings as well. People with better understanding of the subject can dwell deep.
