 The liability of payment of service tax is generally on the service provider except as per s 68(2) where the service receiver will be liable and also for certain services specifically mentioned.

Civil contract will be taxable under the construction services based on what kind of contract is it - residential complex,commercial/industrial complex,works contract etc.,
