My thanks to our members in Scotland who kindly shared their perspectives on #licensing builders with me ahead of the podcast with Kenneth from @blockarchitects.
The FMB’s License to Build campaign is all about protecting raising industry standards, protecting homeowners and builders. We look forward to discussing builder licensing more at our Scotland Parliament reception later this year. Watch the episode here:

This is why a licensing scheme is needed to:. ➡️ Eliminate rogue traders in construction to protect consumers.➡️ Protect the safety of the public and those working in the construction industry.➡️ Ensure fair competition for legitimate business in the industry. #LicenseUKBuilders.

If we are to speed up the delivery of energy retrofit works to our homes, our members will need policy certainty and a clear roadmap. That’s why we’ve signed a letter to @scotgovfm calling for the Heat in Buildings Bill to be introduced before summer. @fmbuilders.
Today 25 business and industry reps have written to @ScotGovFM to warn that the cost of further delay to the Heat in Buildings Bill is lost job opportunities and another winter of cold homes. Read the letter here:

It's good to get out of the office! Recent visits to two very different #building projects delivered by Scotland based @fmbuilders have reminded of this. With thanks to Lasman industries for a tour of a #heritage #restoration project & PJM Joinery & Building for hosting me.
