Workloads didn’t rise

GROWTH in workloads across the Scottish construction sector stalled during the last quarter.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors looked at the period from April to June for its latest UK construction market survey.

The study found that construction workloads in Scotland had failed to rise during the second quarter of the year for the first time since 2013.

But despite the slowdown in activity, the shortage of skills was said to remain a problem.
