HFI: Re-focus on modular builds to hit housing targets

26th January 2018

A “radical new approach” to housing policy and a renewed focus on modular construction will be needed, experts warn. The Housing & Finance Institute has urged the government to focus on modern construction methods to drive up the number of newbuilds and boost productivity. “Housing-based infrastructure has been creaking at the current rates of delivery and simply isn’t ready to deliver at nearly double current rates. Much more needs to be done, and soon,” the report said. The think-tank also pushed the government to formally make housing a national infrastructure priority.
