There is a shortage of construction experts in the UK, which is causing delays for homes that require building services If nothing is done about this, an additional 225,000 skilled workers would be required by 2027 to fulfil the growing demand The Home Office added roofers, bricklayers, plasterers, and carpenters to its list of shortage occupations last year to solve the deficit.
Bricklayers and other construction professionals are in short supply in the UK, causing delays for households needing building services. The UK is expected to lose out on £98 billion in growth by 2030 due to the skills gap, meaning an extra 225,000 skilled workers would be required by 2027 to fulfil the growing demand.
