https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/housing-summit-2018-tickets-49532324516The Housing sector is immersed in one of the most challenging periods in living memory following the tragedy of Grenfell. There is a responsibility placed on all stakeholders to ensure we deliver more better quality, safer homes to meet the needs of our fast-growing and ageing population. With 80% of the products used to construct new homes made in the UK, creating a multiplier of £2.84 for every £1 invested this is a vitally important part of the UK economy now and post Brexit.
Increasing the delivery of new homes remains at the heart of the Government's agenda and we now have a mandate to address the big issues. These include land, planning, finance, skills and capacity to remove the barriers to building the homes we need to meet the demands of our growing population.
Design versus Performance, thermal bridging, fire prevention, overheating and indoor air quality are some of the many technical challenges the industry must address. We need to make full use of our wealth of knowledge, explore greater collaboration and embrace the digital revolution to build better homes for the customer.

Local House Builders Breakfast Briefing - University of Wolverhampton Science Park, Friday 14th July 2017
The need to build more homes of all tenures remains a priority and increasingly local authorities will play a big part in this with the help of local builders.
This workshop was part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), and is for SMEs based in the Black Country. The venue is Wolverhampton Business Solutions Centre, University of Wolverhampton Science Park Wolverhampton, WV10 9RT.
Wolverhampton City Council is addressing the housing crisis with a new initiative to build homes for sale and rent on land owned by the city. In partnership with Wolverhampton Homes the Council has set on a new company which will design and develop homes across the city on large and small sites to meet the needs of the community.
The council wishes to use local building materials and local house builders to ensure they maximise on the employment opportunities and ensure the money spent, where possible, stays in the local economy.
