The Construction Sector is one of the largest in the economy, contributing £103 billion to the UK economy and 6.5% of the total. This comprises over 280,000 businesses, covering some 2.93 million jobs.

The core values that make the industry, such as collaboration, innovation, positive outcome and sustainability are the drives which could help attract more women and paint a more attractive image as an industry.
