Construction, civils and heritage work made up a healthy share of this week's notices, so it is worth a closer look at where the public estate is spending.
Active travel continues to be a steady stream of opportunity. West Lothian Council's Edinburgh Road scheme is one of many walking and cycling projects moving through Scottish councils, and they tend to come with civils, surveying and landscaping work attached.
Heritage and visitor infrastructure is another rich seam. The National Trust for Scotland's search for a quantity surveyor at the Glenfinnan Visitor Centre, and a utility building at Cruck Cottage, show how much built environment spend sits with trusts and smaller heritage bodies rather than councils alone.
Greenspace projects round things out. The Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park skatepark is the sort of contract that is easy to miss if you only watch the big local authorities.
The takeaway is that "construction" on its own is too blunt a keyword. The buyers here range from councils to greenspace trusts to national bodies, and the work runs from civils to fit-out to surveying. Watching the right CPV sectors, plus a couple of buyer names, beats scrolling a portal every morning.
