Dumfries and Galloway Traditional Building Skills Audit

This report collates and analyses the results of an audit of the building contractors in the region who are skilled in the repair and maintenance of the traditional building stock. The results gathered will give an accurate picture of which traditional building skills are represented in the region, to what degree and which are lacking.

The findings of this report and subsequent recommendations made are intended to inform the Council's future strategy for regeneration, starting with the current Dumfries CARS (as of mid-2023) and strategy and project work further to that.
