It was a pleasure to join organisations like the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), Scottish Traditional Building Forum, Stone Federation, NFRC, Engine Shed, MacGregor Flooring Company and Thermal Insulation Contractors Association - TICA, as well as young people from Edinburgh and Fife earlier today for a demonstration of construction skills outside the Scottish Parliament.
Young people - and some MSPs like me - received mini-masterclasses in stonemasonry, roof slating, 3D & Thermal Surveying, Passive House/Insulation, Electrics and Painting and Decorating.
The event was held as part of the Build Your Future programme, which aims to provide young people with the insight, knowledge and skills they need to develop their awareness and experience of Construction and the Built Environment.
