The construction industry is a significant contributor to the economic growth of the United Kingdom. According to Statista<\/a>, the total value added by the sector to Britain\u2019s economy from the first quarter of 1997 to the first quarter of 2022 totals 35 billion GBP. The industry also employs over 2 million people. Considering how big the construction industry is, you’d expect to see as many movies with construction as its central theme as you would about doctors, police officers, secret agents, etc.
