There is an exception in the exclusion which says "except for the provision of one or more of the specified service" means : if service portion in the execution of a works contract and construction services is used for the provision of one or more of the specified service then the same shall be eligible for input credit.
In this case The service of the sub-contractor is used for providing the construction service and hence eligible for CENVAT credit
