How would you answer this kind of job question?

But there are always new techniques coming out and what not.
You could incorporate them both and say something "Whilst tried and tested techniques are fine to continue using I feel that we should always strive to find new solutions for issues which are better suited for today's changing world. It is for this reason that I constantly read about new practices, techniques and technology that are in used in both the building industry but also in wider engineer circles".

Change is good!
All week I've meant to find a job, but instead I think I'll just help other people find themselves one.

Yuh, but he's talking about quantity surveying, not an architect or civil engineer...
 
"Well, my real interest stemmed from the fact that I'm not clever enough to be an architect and I consider myself far more important than a builder."

That should do it.

Winner :D
 
It is inescapable that the numbers of staff employed in lower skilled transaction processing activities will decline as functions get disintermediated by technology, so I wish to leverage the harmonised business landscape. I feel that the building industry and their clients will gain net benefit from my blue sky thinking and ability to deliver simplified contract management, effective service evolution and responsive scaling to requirement bringing cost savings by flexible services, control and balanced service levels.

Say this. AS FAST AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN.

Then look all smug.
 
What is it about the Construction Industry that appeals to you and why?
can we fix it


What has motivated you to make this career choice and be involved in the industry?
YES WE CAN!

And for added effect draw a pic of bob
 
I want to be as tight fisted as I can and cause problems to the all the engineers on site and get paid shed loads. Oh and I can count good!

On a more serious note I think it would depend what sector of work you'd be employed in be it public or private. As you could easily tailor your answer to that.

I would give an answer along the lines of, "The construction industry is a dynamic and constantly evolving industry with a wide variety of working sectors. Within the construction industry you have the responsibility and opportunity to provide solutions to many of the problems faced by civilisation. The chance to aid people by improving infrastructure around them and never working on two projects exactly the same I believe would provide me with rewarding and varied work.

My motivation for this career choice is that when you complete a project to a good standard you are granted a sense of satisfaction. I personally find this spurs you on repeat your sucess. I also feel that I can make a difference to the UK construction industry by exploring different methods of construction which have the ability to produce a more sustainable and efficient product. To which in the current economic climate and for future generations I feel is our responsibility."

Or some crap like that.

Good luck though hopefully our paths will cross and I can explain to you why my design is the best option...
