Claymore Homes site visit

Overview

Six pupils from Meldrum Academy visited a working construction site to get an overview of the housebuilding process and the different roles involved. During their time there, they were able to view foundation works.

The Site Manager from Claymore Homes also talked them through the methodology of building a house.

Results and effectiveness

The pupils - all of whom have an interest in the construction sector - asked questions during their visit. They are keen to return to the site to gain further experience and insights.

Additional benefits

There may be further opportunities for pupils to visit the site as the housing development progresses. This will allow them to to witness the full range of activities involved with housebuilding, such as joinery, electrical work, roofing, painting and decorating, and landscaping.
