McLaughlin & Harvey is proud to sponsor the first-ever Scottish Construction Summit, hosted by Scottish Construction Now.

With the theme ‘Transforming Construction’, this milestone event will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders to drive meaningful change through collaboration, innovation, and sustainability.

As a key partner, we are committed to engaging with both the public and private sectors to tackle the biggest challenges in construction today. The industry must move beyond outdated practices and embrace forward-thinking solutions to build a more productive, sustainable, and socially responsible sector.

Building futures is always a priority at McLaughlin & Harvey. We create employment and learning opportunities for successful career pathways, working with our supply chain and education partners to break down the barriers to sustained employment and remove education inequalities experienced by some groups through dedicated programmes. 

The future of construction depends on an engaged, skilled, and diverse workforce. We must make the industry more attractive, inclusive, and rewarding. It is encouraging to see retention and recruitment on the agenda and will feature significantly throughout the day.  

Another focus will be digitisation. McLaughlin & Harvey has a focus on people, processes, and technology. We utilise a digital approach across our projects to enhance our innovation and productivity, and improve our project outcomes, client satisfaction and profitability. We look forward to hearing more about the latest technologies driving efficiency and innovation and to sharing our experience.

Sustainability remains a focus for all our businesses. Exploring how businesses can improve and adapt to evolving environmental targets will be insightful. McLaughlin & Harvey’s Net Zeo Strategy reinforces our commitment to go beyond current government legislation by focusing on reducing our environmental footprint with sustainable impact across all our site construction and civil engineering projects. Our priority is to reduce our carbon emissions every year and ultimately eliminate them from our business.  

At McLaughlin & Harvey our values, We Collaborate, We Commit, We Care, reflect what we believe is important in our world. 

No single organisation or business can address the challenges facing Scotland’s construction industry alone. Collaboration is key – and this event brings together industry leaders, policymakers, and supply chain partners to share best practices and drive change.

The Scottish Construction Summit is an invaluable opportunity to shape the industry’s future. We are proud to partner with Scottish Construction Now for this milestone event and look forward to playing our part in building a stronger, more sustainable future for construction in Scotland.
