Recent research has revealed Scotland's construction industry is continuing to show signs of improvement and growth.

From July 2013 to July 2014, Scotland secured 11% of the value of contracts awarded in Britain, to make it the third highest in the country, behind London and the South West of England.

With regards to the Scottish contracts, the value accumulated to £6.8bn.

A number of major projects included in this total value include the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR), the Edinburgh Glasgow Improvements Programme (EGIP), and the Scottish Government's Help To Buy scheme.

In light of the industry's success, Oliver Kinross has announced it is to host the first Scotland Build 2015 show later this year.

The event will be held at Glasgow's Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC) on 25 and 26 November. More than 175 exhibitors will be in attendance over the two days.

Registration for the event is free.
