The Scottish Building Federation is the principal employers' federation representing the construction industry in Scotland. Our 700 member contractors, located from Orkney to the Borders, undertake some £2.2 billion of construction activity in Scotland each year.

Working closely with many industry related bodies including the Scottish Parliament and Executive, HSE, ConstructionSkills, RICS & SQA, we are heavily involved in upholding high standards of workmanship and promoting the image of the industry and the raising of its' profile. The shared objective that all members have in common is their commitment to health & safety, skills and integrity.

The Scottish Building Federation was a founder member of the Scottish Building Apprenticeship & Training Council (SBATC) which regulates the working conditions, wages, recruitment and training of apprenticeships within the industry throughout Scotland.

Ultimately, our overall aim is to ensure that the importance of the Scottish construction industry to Scotland\'s economy and society is recognised and valued.
