Fife Construction Businesses Lay Strong Foundations with Build Fife 2025 Programme

InvestFife news

April 9, 2025

Delivered by Fife Council’s Economic Development and Procurement teams in partnership with Hub East Central Scotland, the eight-week programme offered practical, expert-led workshops covering key topics such as business strategy, tendering, marketing, leadership, and contract negotiation. 

Participants also benefited from ‘Meet the Buyer’ sessions with leading contractors including BAM Construction, Maxi Construction, Campion Homes, Kilmac Ltd and Muir Construction. These sessions offered valuable insights into upcoming projects and how to become part of the wider construction supply chain. 

The programme also included a visit to the Built Environment – Smarter Transformation (BE-ST) Innovation Centre, showcasing cutting-edge advancements in construction, and a tour of the South West Fife Replacement School project.  

This year’s participants represented a diverse mix of Fife-based businesses, including Calforth Construction Ltd, Engineering Agencies, EVi Renewables Ltd, I-Scaff Access Solutions Ltd, GSM Electrical Fife Ltd, CR Smith Manufacturing Ltd, Avtek Solutions, Legge Steel, R.Lindsay & Co, JLC Commercial Cleaning Ltd, SM Electrical Supplies Ltd, and Leigh Joinery Services Ltd

At the final event, Calforth Construction Ltd was named the 2025 Build Fife Programme winner. 

Gus Laing, General Manager at Calforth Construction Ltd, said:
"The programme delivered everything and more, the programme provided us with tools we were able to utilise and help bring focus in key areas. We have been able to review and shape what we believe is the key focus areas for our business and this has already began to bear fruit. 

Since completing the programme, we have secured new contracts across our divisions and have started working alongside new clients, including the award of several key contracts.." 

Greg Michie from GSM Electrical said: 

"Build Fife has been a fantastic opportunity for our business. The programme was well-structured, engaging, and provided us with valuable insights into where we were, where we want to be, and the steps needed to get there. We've already made significant changes, including improvements to our contracts, tendering, and payments process. 

Since completing Build Fife, we have developed a comprehensive tendering package, which has led to a significant local contract opportunity.” 

Neil Beattie from EVi Renewables added:
“The invitation to attend the Build Fife 2025 training sessions was received with great interest as well as trepidation! Do I and the business have the time to take 8 weeks of Wednesday mornings and will it provide a good return? On reflection, the answer is a resounding Yes! The team delivered a business focussed programme with a host of Subject Matter Experts along with introductions from Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors.” 

Pamela Stevenson, Service Manager at Fife Council, added:
“The Build Fife Programme is designed to give local businesses the tools, knowledge, and connections they need to thrive. It’s great to see such strong engagement from the businesses involved and I’d like to congratulate everyone who took part.  I would also like to extend my  thanks to my colleagues for their hard work in organising the programme.”
