enq.136 Around two thirds of Brits wouldn’t consider working in construction, says survey
Construction plays a major part in the UK economy, as well as providing much-needed housing and infrastructure to the country, but is that how the public sees the industry? At a time when the construction industry has a shortfall of talent, with an estimated 100,000 workers needed to cope with Britain’s infrastructure construction demands, the findings of the survey show the gap between public perceptions of the construction industry and the reality. A YouGov poll of 2,000 members of the public, commissioned by Construction United, measured perceptions and found that the vast majority would never consider a career in the construction industry, with just 17 per cent saying that they would give it thought. The words Brits associate with construction may shed some light on this – when questioned, 68 per cent of the survey-takers described the work as ‘strenuous’, and 58 per cent saw it as ‘dirty’. Meanwhile, only 11 per cent think the industry is ‘exciting’. The industry, however is the driving force behind the biggest investment into British infrastructure since Victorian times. Construction United is a coalition of some of the industry’s leading companies and experts, which flies the flag for all of the great things about the sector, while dispelling the myths and outdated perceptions that the public may have about construction.
