Countdown to Open Doors 2027

Get Set to Showcase Careers in Construction

#OpenDoors27 will enable young people and those looking for a change of career to find out what construction has to offer by going behind the scenes and seeing first-hand the wide range of opportunities available. Build UK is introducing a more flexible format for 2027, and organisations across the UK will be hosting tours of their sites and workplaces throughout March.

Open Doors to the World of Work

At my Open Doors visit in 2025, I got to talk to so many different people at the company and I realised quantity surveying was something that I really wanted to do. They invited me back for a chat afterwards and I’m now working as a Higher Level Apprentice Quantity Surveyor. I helped run our Open Doors events in 2026 and it’s hard to believe what a difference a year makes!
