RunningDocumentary show

There are over 160,000 people employed in the construction industry in Ireland. These people build, renovate and reimagine our countryside and our towns.

Welcome to ‘Na Builders' an original, home-grown series for TG4 that shines the spotlight on construction workers from across the country as they battle the elements - and occasionally each other - to get the job done.

We'll be spending time with builders of all shapes and sizes, in rural and urbans settings; we'll be looking at what they are building and who they are building for and getting a real sense of where we are in building Ireland these days 

From bricklayers to electricians, plumbers to roofers, plasterers to carpenters these hard- working men and women are part of our everyday lives in Ireland. These are their stories.
