Building involves many aspects of construction including: commercial, residential, educational and health properties. It is an extremely large industry that provides jobs across the UK and abroad. The vast majority of building construction projects are small renovations, such as addition of a room, or renovation of a bathroom or kitchen. Large projects can take years to complete and cost millions of pounds to complete.

Civil engineers turn complex ideas into
reality. They help make some of the most
innovative structures in the UK and abroad.
Civil engineering activities in the construction
industry deals with the design, construction,
and maintenance of bridges, roads, tunnels,
airports, dams, harbours, wind farms and
designing and constructing our water supply
and sewage systems. Civil Engineers must
consider many factors in their designs, from the
costs to making sure the structure will stay
intact during bad weather.
