This year we launched our Building Your Future campaign to reflect on construction’s history in the 175 years since the magazine was founded – and more importantly, to look ahead at the next 25 years. We’ve been asking you all how you’d like to see the sector reshape itself, and now we want to know: what does the next generation think? 

Building has brought together a group of 12 fairly recent graduates working across the built environment – project managers, site managers, engineers, architects, surveyors and consultants – to discuss their hopes, dreams and fears for the sector. Why did they join an industry with an image problem that puts off many young people? How do they hope to make their mark? And what do they most want to change? 

The panel came together for the first time earlier this month at Building’s Shoreditch offices, and we plan to keep in touch with them over the coming months and beyond. We’ll be asking them to help us paint a picture of how they’d like the sector to change over the next few years and decades.
