Reception Noting that the show covers the Bhumibol Bridge, Gotthard Base Tunnel, and North American and Madrid initiatives to reduce traffic congestion, The Daily Telegraph's Kirsty Heysen said, "This great series some of these hugely ambitious undertakings." Brad Newsome of The Age praised the show, writing, "It's not your average construction-telly yawn tonight as we follow the annual building of Sweden's famed ice hotel." The Sunday Mail stated, "Colourful characters and bigger-than Ben Hur projects fill this latest series about the world's largest and most mind-boggling engineering challenges." The Brazilian newspaper Correio 24 Horas wrote that Mega Builders "is quite enlightening about the reasons why Rio de Janeiro, the Olympic city, is currently left without any good-quality stadium in working order".
