IPF Scotland: Constructing the Future: Tackling Today’s Challenges for Tomorrow’s Growth

You're Invited!

The UK construction industry stands at a pivotal crossroads in 2025, facing a convergence of structural challenges and transformative opportunities. From a deepening skills shortage and rising labour costs to sweeping regulatory reforms and ambitious net-zero targets, the sector must rapidly adapt or risk falling short of national housing and infrastructure goals. This discussion will explore the critical issues reshaping the industry today: workforce capacity, financial resilience, digital innovation, regulatory compliance, and sustainability mandates. It will examine how government policy, private sector response, and evolving technologies are influencing construction’s direction—and what must change to rebuild trust, drive productivity, and ensure long-term viability. With an emphasis on reform and resilience, this session aims to spark informed dialogue on how the industry can move beyond crisis toward a more confident and sustainable future.
