Good News for Skilled Indian Construction Workers
Construction was placed at the heart of the UK’s economy during Rachel Reeves’ spring statement. She pledged that a total of 1.3 million homes will be built in the UK by the financial year 2029-2030, boosting the stock of affordable housing by £2bn.
£600 million has been allocated to train up to 60,000 new British construction workers through various educational and apprenticeship programs, but Mr Yash Dubal, Director of London-based A Y & J Solicitors believes this will not be enough, and that in order to meet the targets, construction firms will have to recruit from overseas.
“Despite these initiatives, the UK construction sector faces significant labour shortages,” said Mr Dubal. “Recent data indicates that 16% of construction businesses are experiencing worker shortages, making it the second-most affected sector in the UK.”
The Construction Skills Network (CSN) reports that approximately 225,000 new construction workers are needed by 2027 to meet demand. And certain trades within the construction industry are experiencing more acute shortages. Specific roles such as bricklayers and civil engineers are in particularly high demand.
For this reason, Indian construction professionals seeking employment in the UK should investigate opportunities under the Skilled Worker visa route, which requires a job offer from a UK employer who is a licensed sponsor and covers a range of skilled roles within the construction sector.
Jobs eligible for skilled worker visas include bricklayers, stonemasons, roofers, roof tilers and slaters, carpenters and joiners, window fitters, plasterers and painters and decorators. While there is a salary threshold attached to most Skilled Worker visas of £38,700, many construction roles benefit from a reduction to this due to acute shortages, down to £30,960. Bricklayers, roofers and carpenters fall into this category.
Mr Dubal continued, “Skilled tradesmen in the UK can earn high salaries. The UK’s ambitious construction targets and existing labour shortages create substantial opportunities for skilled Indian construction workers. By understanding the visa options and aligning their skills with the UK’s needs, Indian professionals can significantly contribute to the UK’s construction industry while advancing their careers.”

World Heritage Day: Heritage Properties Shine as Prime Wedding Destinations
New Delhi, India – April 18, 2025 – As the world celebrates World Heritage Day on April 18th, a fascinating trend is emerging within India’s vibrant tourism sector; the increasing popularity of heritage properties as wedding venues. This coincides with a significant rise in cross-cultural marriages, further fueling the growth of the tourism market and adding a unique dimension to the preservation and appreciation of India’s rich heritage.
Once stately homes, palaces, and forts are now witnessing the blossoming of marital unions, drawn by their majestic architecture, historical significance, and the promise of a unique and memorable celebration. This trend is particularly appealing to couples opting for cross-section marriages, where the blend of diverse cultural backgrounds finds a harmonious backdrop in the timeless elegance of heritage locations.
The convergence of these trends is creating a significant boost for the tourism industry. Heritage properties, often located in historically rich but sometimes less-visited areas, are experiencing a revitalization. This influx of wedding-related tourism supports local economies, generates employment opportunities, and encourages the upkeep and preservation of these invaluable architectural treasures.
“World Heritage Day serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of safeguarding our cultural legacy,” says Jyoti Mayal, Chairperson of Tourism and Hospitality Skill Council (THSC).”The increasing trend of hosting weddings in heritage properties, especially cross-cultural unions, not only provides stunning backdrops for these significant life events but also contributes to the economic viability and conservation of these sites. It’s a beautiful synergy where celebration meets preservation” she further added.
To further amplify this growth, there is a pressing need to introduce single-window clearances for visas and event permits, which would ease the process for both international and domestic guests. Simpler methods for registering marriages—especially those involving foreign nationals or different faiths—can enhance the overall experience. Additionally, maintaining cleanliness and improving the accessibility of heritage properties can significantly enhance their appeal. Investing in skill development, especially in the area of hospitality, will ensure that visitors experience the warmth, professionalism, and cultural richness that India is known for..
This World Heritage Day, let’s celebrate the changing role of our historical sites. They are not just reminders of the past, but also bridges for cultural exchange and sources of economic growth through new and exciting tourism trends. By preserving them with care and embracing these changes wisely, we can keep India’s rich heritage alive for future generations.
