"But we could still be doing more to help local building firms capitalise on the great opportunities that are available and will be coming on stream in the weeks and months ahead."

Alison Henderson CEO of Dundee and Angus Chamber of Commerce, who are the other co-hosts added: "The event will set out the national context of the construction sector before focussing in on the people and skills we have, and also need to develop to get the best possible benefits for the city's economy.

"There will also be a session aimed at how we can all play a part in unlocking the potential in this already vibrant and exciting industry."

Among speakers at the event will be Robin Blacklock of the Scottish Property Federation; Michael Lennox, CITB; Allan Rae, Kirkwood Homes and Kevin Murphy of Dundee and Angus College.
