Activities in this sector are very broad and include constructing new homes, offices, schools, shopping centres, hospitals and bridges. Work can also involve repairing and maintaining old buildings.
It is projected that by 2008 2.8 million people will be employed in the construction industry across the UK
Occupational areas where jobs are anticipated to increase are:
There are not enough carpenters, joiners and bricklayers to meet demand.
There are fewer job opportunities for floorers, glaziers, scaffolders, general operatives and maintenance workers
Construction companies across the Humber area are usually small businesses; approximately 92% of firms employ less than 13 people.
90% of the people who work in the construction industry are men.
The construction industry is predicted to grow over the next few years.
It is anticipated that in Hull there will be a requirement for around 750-900 new construction employers per year for the next three to four years, until major developments in the city centre are completed.
