here for occupations in building and construction
The construction
industry has, over the years, built the community in
which we all live. From small cottage conversions to
office tower blocks, from footpaths to airports, railways
and roads, construction workers of all types strive
to improve our living and working conditions and our
landscape. Thousands of young people enter this industry
annually.
Building
and construction may be:
residential
- from individual houses to large estates and blocks
of apartments
offices - small offices or large tower blocks in central
London
prestige projects such as the Scottish Parliament and
the Millennium Stadium
railways, roads and airports
dams, power stations and offshore installations
renovation work on old buildings, churches and cathedrals.
Many people in construction work around 37 hours a week,
often with overtime. Those on major projects may at
times have to work very long hours to meet deadlines.
Working conditions range from comfortable offices to
dusty, muddy building sites, which may be very hot in
summer and cold in winter. The industry employs over
1.5 million people and is growing, needing almost 80,000
new entrants each year.
