Our Industry

– The economic significance of the construction industry

‘There is a fundamental inter-dependence between buildings and the lives of people….

“Almost all our activities , whether collective or as individuals, are only made possible by the buildings we inhabit. So fundamental are buildings to our lives that we often take them for granted and regard them as simply the given backdrop to our day to day existence. But buildings are not given, they are consciously made and how they are made profoundly affects the quality of our lives. How buildings are made, the quality of their design and of the built environments they help to shape should, then, be a matter of concern to us all.”Introduction to a Policy on Architecture for Scotland

The Museum of Scotland

‘Construction is an important industry, both in its own right and in terms of the impact it can have on all parts of the economy, the environment, and society.

‘Construction – a key sector of the Scottish economy.

• Turnover £7.2 billion

• Employment 138,590 (includes 21,000 self employed)

• Companies 43,035 (over 98% employ less than 50 people)
