That's the @fmbuilders first ever reception at the @ScotParl completed. With thanks to our MSP sponsor @MonicaLennon7 Minister @BenMacpherson & to Velux for supporting the event. Good discussions about our Builders' Manifesto which sets FMB's key asks for Scottish policy makers.

Some shocking reports of the devasting impact rogue builders have on clients. Pleased to be able to discuss @fmbuilders tips on how to find and choose good builders @fmb https://t.co/JgXVes0XFA and explain why we are campaigning on licensing builders. #LicencetoBuild

[BBC Radio Scotland @BBCRadioScot]

Following a BBC investigation into a cowboy builder, Stephen wants to hear your experience of rogue traders.

[FMB Scotland @FMBScot_Gordon]

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

[FMB: Master Builders @fmbuilders]

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.

Pleased to hear that a Labour MP is backing our @fmbuilders campaign to licence building companies https://t.co/OHzstPDn5L @projectscot @ConsumerScot

[FMB Scotland @FMBScot_Gordon]

The weather, logistics and exceptional community engagement and not forgetting the quality of the build were the ingredients to @SpeyLtd success in winning a coveted Master Builder Award for the #construction of the #Canna visitor hub. @fmbuilders @StephenGarvin70

[FMB Scotland @FMBScot_Gordon]

After discussing #licensing builders and having a general catch up with our Scotland Vice President, Stephen O'Neill, he showed me the nearly completed #renovation project he has been working on. Pleased I found the before photo to compare with the 'after' one! @fmbuilders

[FMB Scotland @FMBScot_Gordon]

Great to catch up with double #Scotland Master Builder Award winners Martin & Son on site at one of their near completed #renovation projects in Irvine. With thanks to Martin's clients and Nicola Lee from @Jewson #MBAwards

[FMB Scotland @FMBScot_Gordon]

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
