The Scottish Building Federation
Established in 1895, making it one of the oldest and biggest of its kind, its membership is not automatic; ‘reputable builders can apply to join’. Associate membership is for smaller firms and individuals plus chartered quantity surveyors and architects and other businesses supplying goods and, or, services to the Scottish construction industry. The SBF Code of Conduct for the domestic market includes provisions on liability insurance, building standards, technical capabilities, employment and training, health and safety, the environment and customer care.
