What is SkillBuild?
SkillBuild is the UK’s biggest construction skills competition and has been supported by BAL since 2009.
Organised by the CITB (Construction Industry Training Board), the competition sees students compete in Regional heats across the country in ten construction occupations – including wall and floor tiling.
Regional winners go on to compete in the SkillBuild National Finals for the chance to be crowned the overall winner in their chosen trade.
Competitors are judged on their tiling techniques and ability over a three event, with the national winners going on the International Shortlist for the chance to compete for their country at the WorldSkills competition held every year.

Do you think you have what it takes to be crowned the best tiling student in the UK – then why not apply to take part in the SkillBuild Regional Heats for 2023?
