The event takes place this Friday and Saturday when over 80 construction sites will open their doors to give the public a chance to see what happens behind the hoardings.

A wide range of sites will be open, ranging from Hotel Football at Old Trafford to a project creating new lanes on the M25, to a Technology Centre where new construction techniques are tested and a full size Crossrail site has been created.

UKCG Director Stephen Ratcliffe said: “With Open Doors just a few days away we are pleased so many people are taking part.

“In particular, construction needs more young people entering our industry, and the weekend is an opportunity to tell the story of what a career in a modern and vibrant construction industry looks like.

“It is not about ‘dirt and bricks’, but an industry that is at the forefront of innovation, new technologies and creating iconic projects”.
