CIF Support Young Homebuilders of the Future in Trim

7 May , 2019  

The Construction Industry Federation are proud to support the school housebuilding competition, which took place at 10:00am on the 3rd May in St. Mary’s Convent Primary School Trim.

The programme aims to tap into the students’ creativity by challenging them to build their own house.

CIF Director General Tom Parlon assessed all of the projects on the day, and spoke at length to the children about the process of building their house.

The young students presented their houses built from materials including cardboard, clay and paper. Each child was presented with their own Hivis vest, hard hat, and personalised certificate of participation.

This is one of the many initiatives that CIF supports to encourage more young people to consider careers in construction.
