Getting Construction from Surface

I'm trying to add an outer layer of a material to specific surfaces. I currently have a loop that cycles through all the surfaces and singles out those that I want to modify. However, in order to insert a layer, I need the Construction object assigned to that surface. I've notice the Construction parameter associated with a surface returns a Construction base object and not a Construction. How do I obtain the Construction object?
