Construction Minister, Lee Rowley MP, recently visited a development in West London, where Federation of Master Builders (FMB) member Kisiel Group is building 21 high quality new homes for rent.

The visit, hosted by the FMB, the voice of small and medium sized building companies, was an opportunity to showcase the important contribution that local builders are making to building the homes we need, championing professionalism in the construction industry, and training the next generation of workers.

As well as touring the site, the Construction Minister spoke with young graduates starting out on their career in construction.

He said: "It was wonderful to see the skills and professionalism on show at Kisiel Group’s residential development in West London. Small and medium size building companies have a critical part to play in building the homes the UK needs.

"The Federation of Master Builders play an important role in championing these companies. As the voice of the sector I look forward to continuing to work closely with them to drive growth and train the next generation of the workforce."

Brian Berry, Chief Executive of the FMB, said: "I am really pleased that the Construction Minister joined us on site yesterday morning, and was able to not just get a detailed insight into the workings of a busy, local building project, but also experience the commitment to quality that sets FMB builders apart."
