Transforming Scottish Construction Together
The Construction Leadership Forum was established in 2019 with the focus of creating a more sustainable, productive, innovative, and diverse construction industry.
The construction industry
Scotland's construction sector is dynamic and integral to the country’s economic and social development, with a growing focus on sustainability and innovation.
Those working in the sector create and maintain our infrastructure, our homes, and the wider built environment, which is all around us and plays a vital role in how we live, work, learn and play.
The industry is already playing a pivotal role in how Scotland delivers on its net-zero commitments and delivers energy-efficient buildings across the whole of our built environment.
Scottish Construction Industry by numbers:
In 2023, the Construction sector had a Gross Value Added of £10bn
Construction accounts for 5.6% of Scottish jobs
As of 2023, there were 44,705 businesses operating in the construction sector in Scotland
Small businesses of 1-49 employees equate to 99% of Scotland's construction sector
As of April 2024, 33% (12,993) of modern apprenticeships in Scotland were in training for construction and related occupations - source: MA Statistics
