Construction 101: how construction actually works, explained for beginners.

If you’ve ever wondered how construction projects really come together: who’s involved, how decisions get made, how money flows, and why things go wrong, this video breaks it down from first principles.

Construction is one of the biggest industries in the world, but it’s also one of the least understood. From homes and hospitals to railways, data centres, and energy infrastructure, construction shapes everyday life. Yet most people never see how projects actually move from idea to reality.

In this video, we explain the fundamentals of the construction industry:
what construction really is, how it differs from the built environment, how projects are structured, how contracts and procurement shape behaviour, why materials matter, and how people, skills, safety, and culture affect everything on site.

This is construction explained for beginners. No jargon, no assumptions, and no prior industry knowledge required. Whether you’re new to construction, working alongside the industry, or just trying to understand how the physical world gets built, this is your starting point.
