When it comes to delivering on housing targets, the industry is facing several challenges, including – but not limited to – planning obstacles, building safety legislation, the energy transition and ambitious net-zero targets. To address this, we have seen many in the industry rising to the challenge with firms across the supply chain identifying opportunities and bringing new solutions. But the landscape is complex, so collaboration is key.
With that in mind, we’ve partnered with Building.co.uk and Housing Today to host a webinar discussion amongst our specification team and housebuilding partners. This event will explore the industry’s evolving landscape and the steps we can take to meet the rising demand for housing whilst also striving for more sustainable practice.
The engaging session is designed for housebuilders, developers and designers who are eager to learn more about:
- How firms across the supply chain are adapting to regulatory changes;
- The role of housebuilding in accelerating the move towards net zero;
- How we can adopt more sustainable practice on an industry scale;
- How supply chain collaboration can help us to meet ambitious housing targets.
Why attend?
Understanding the current and future challenges of housebuilding is important for developing effective strategies and solutions to meet housing targets and drive the industry forward.
You will also have the opportunity to learn directly from industry experts who are at the forefront of navigating these changes. Our panel of speakers will share their knowledge and experiences, offering practical advice and innovative ideas that you can apply within your organisation.
The webinar will also highlight the latest solutions and technologies that are helping the industry achieve its goal. These will enable you to stay ahead of the curve and implement the best practices for your projects, ensuring more sustainable and efficient building practices.
