Ashville said: “I’ve always believed that in the world of construction, there are no limits to what we can achieve. Building Impossible is a testament to the power of human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of pushing boundaries.

“I’m thrilled to take viewers on this journey and demonstrate that with hard work, determination and a touch of audacity, we can make the impossible possible.

“Building Impossible is not just about engineering marvels, it’s about the incredible people behind these ground-breaking projects. Their dedication, passion and unwavering commitment to excellence inspire me every day.”
