Build Fife 2027
Helping Fife Construction Businesses Build Capacity, Win Work and Grow
Following three successful years of supporting local construction businesses, Build Fife returns in 2027 with a programme designed to help Fife-based construction companies strengthen their capabilities, expand their networks, and position themselves for future growth.
Delivered by Fife Council's Economic Development and Procurement teams, in partnership with Hub East Central Scotland, Build Fife has become a recognised platform for helping local businesses improve their competitiveness and build stronger connections across the construction sector.
Whether your business is looking to secure larger contracts, develop leadership capability, improve strategic planning, or better understand public sector procurement, Build Fife 2027 will provide practical support, specialist insight and valuable industry connections.
About the Programme
Build Fife 2027 will again feature an eight-week programme of workshops, networking opportunities and industry engagement sessions for a selected cohort of Fife construction businesses.
While the full programme is still being finalised, delegates can expect a blend of practical learning, peer-to-peer knowledge sharing and direct engagement with industry partners. Core themes will include:
- Tendering & Procurement
- Leadership & Management
- Business Strategy
- Supply Chain Development
The programme is designed to provide practical support that businesses can apply immediately within their operations while developing longer-term growth plans.
Build & Connect Sessions
Returning for 2027, the popular Build & Connect sessions will continue to play a central role within the programme.

These sessions consistently receive strong feedback from previous participants and have become a key feature of the Build Fife experience.
