UK construction shows signs of stability but faces ongoing challenges with rising costs and skills shortages shortages which continue to squeeze small and medium sized building companies.
Our manifesto is urging the next government to empower the construction industry as an economic driver by significantly boosting housebuilding, supporting energy efficiency upgrades, and attracting young talent through training initiatives.
In Q3 2023, our State of Trade Survey indicates a notable decline in market activity. Workloads, enquiries, and employment rates have all decreased, primarily due to poor performance in the housebuilding, industrial, and commercial sectors
Despite another challenging and busy year for the FMB, as members continued to work in difficult economic circumstances, we are pleased to present the FMB’s latest annual report.
At the end of July, the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) published research into the local construction skills needs for Scotland. FMB’s Scotland Director Gordon Nelson summarises the key findings for members.
It has been a year of considerable activity for the FMB as it celebrated its 80th anniversary, recognised quality work by Master Builders through the Master Builder Awards, and expanded its range of services to better support members.
This guide is aimed at helping you better understand development finance, where it sits within the housebuilding process and what you need to do to secure finance.
We are calling on the industry, the Northern Ireland Executive and Members of the Legislative Assembly to maximise the positive impact
that the construction sector has on Northern Ireland.
