construction
Explanation:
design, construction, and supervision of civil and hydro engineering works

From a CV:
:1978 to 1980 : Roads Section
Worked for 2,5 years in the Roads Section on a number of roads and stormwater projects. This included responsibility for the planning , design , construction and supervision of the work.

From an engineering journal blurb:
Typically using a case-study approach, Civil Engineering Practice places key emphasis on the presentation of techniques being applied successfully in the analysis, justification, design, construction, operation and maintenance of civil engineering works.

"Construction" is much more idiomatic in this context than "execution".
