Apprenticeships, skills, and planning reform are the vital for a thriving construction sector and one that will deliver homes and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApprenticeship funding in Scotland has stagnated, while employer costs continue to climb. As a result, many small firms are struggling to recruit and train the next generation of workers at a time when the industry needs an more than 3,500 people every year between now and 2029 just to meet demand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s vital that proceeds from the UK Apprenticeship Levy are fully ring-fenced for training and directed towards small and medium-sized employers to help them build a skilled future workforce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also face a delivery deficit in housing, with a shortfall of around 100,000 homes. Small builders now deliver far fewer homes than they did 30 years ago. As set out in our Growth from the Ground Up manifesto, the Scottish Government must invest in under-resourced local authority planning departments to tackle delays.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>More certainty is needed for Scottish builders<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/uncertainty-damaging-scottish-building-industry\/157834\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Writing for PBC Today in December<\/a>, Paul Mitchell, operations director at the Scottish Building Federation (SBF) shared his thoughts on the Scottish Housing Emergency Action Plan, and what measures the Scottish government can take in 2026 to tackle the housing crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Paul wrote: \u201cConstruction is the engine room of the Scottish economy, contributing 7.4% of total output whilst directly employing 190,000 people, 7% of the nation\u2019s workforce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the face of it, these are impressive statistics and underscore its importance. However, if we look below the surface, there is a concerning seam of uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnconfirmed levels of government investment, the inconsistent application of building regulations, planning delays and the looming building safety levy are having a detrimental impact right now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cScottish Government statistics published last week confirm that it now takes an average of 37 weeks to process planning applications for major housing developments, far exceeding the 16-week statutory requirement.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scottish builders will need to see enhanced support in the upcoming Budget, says the Federation of Master Builders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":158271,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[285],"tags":[720,172848,660],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-158270","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-hr-skills-news","8":"tag-federation-of-master-builders","9":"tag-scotland","10":"tag-skills-shortage"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Support needed for Scottish builders, say FMB<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Scottish builders will need to see enhanced support in the upcoming Budget, says the Federation of Master Builders\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/support-needed-for-scottish-builders-say-fmb\/158270\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Support needed for Scottish builders, say FMB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Scottish builders will need to see enhanced support in the upcoming Budget, says the Federation of Master Builders\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/support-needed-for-scottish-builders-say-fmb\/158270\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
