There are several types of rock weathering: chemical (oxidation, chemical reaction to acidic fluids), mechanical (frost wedging, water hydraulics), and biological (plant root growth, burrowing by animals, plant secretions). Technically, any process that results in a diminution or reduction in rock size is classified as a weathering process. Therefore, the answer to the question would be 'yes'.
The breaking down of rocks by construction equipment might be called mechanical weathering. This process is different than the mechanical weathering that occurs when rocks are broken down by ice and water.
The breaking down and wearing away of rocks is called weathering.

It is actually called weathering, but if your talking about the process of rocks breaking down into smaller pieces by physical means it is called Mechanical Weathering, by chemical means it is called Chemical Weathering.

Weathering is the breaking up of rock into ever smaller particles. Sand grains is an example of the result of weathering.
