There is a perception among some parts of the #housebuilding industry that if the "Big Boys and Girls" aren't adopting MMC, then it will never work. It's important to understand why the big housebuilders aren't always keen, including the reasons highlighted in the piece below. Repeated house-types that are priced to the penny, materials quantified to the number of screws, and long term supply chain agreements mean that big builders can very quickly determine how much a scheme will be to develop as the cost of building the houses is relatively stable. The devil (and cost, as we all know!) is in the ground, the issues we can't see, whether it be a utility that wasn't on any plans, a roman villa or a plague pit that cause additional costs and significant delays to programme. For big housebuilders, it's about risk, convenience and regulations. Minimise risk by doing what they have always done, maximise convenience by using the same materials and build to meet current building regulations. Long term quality or performance of the house against 2050 zero carbon targets don't factor. And why should it (for them)? Shareholders do not insist on Future Homes Standard fabric performance as they don't retain the homes they build - no future retrofit costs. Speed of delivery is also a significant factor when building homes for rent. The sooner the homes are completed, the sooner they generate an income. For big house builders, it's about building out to match the pace of sales. SME Developers like Jack Baldwin from Baldwin Building Services and Chris from Your Space who don't have the same purchasing power or ability to use the same house-types on each scheme are already seeing the benefits of engaging with MMC suppliers to deliver the energy efficient homes that #affordablehousing providers are specifying. Their agility is why Homes England is working closely with #sme developers to build more homes to the standards that #registeredhousingproviders want to achieve to reduce the #housingcrisis and #fuelpoverty. Building Better, Procurement for Housing, OSHA Off-Site Homes Alliance and Cast Consultancy are all working with with SME's and Providers to facilitate exciting partnerships to deliver much needed housing using MMC. I wonder if the big developers will change their attitude to mmc as we edge closer to the extinction of skilled workers on site. It would seem that after building homes the same way we have done for over 200 years no longer appeals as a career. Eventually it may be our workforce, choosing to avoid jobs involving hard physical work, outside for 30 years that will tip the balance for the "Big Boys & Girls", not policies or carbon emissions. If you would like to know more about how Etopia can help you as a provider or developer/contractor make the move to MMC, please get in touch. #ifnotnowwhen #sustainablehomes #fairdealforhousing #skillsshortage Inside Housing Trina Chakravarti

With three-quarters of the year gone, clear patterns are emerging in the construction sector. Overall activity has been broadly flat. But this conceals contrasting trends in the residential and commercial sectors. Housing completions will struggle to exceed the Government’s 33,450 target for this year. But the pipeline has strengthened and output will rise next year and beyond. On the commercial side, 186,000 sq m of high-quality business space have been delivered in Dublin over the first three quarters of 2024. With further buildings scheduled to complete in Q4, this will be a bumper year for office delivery. Although improving, demand won’t be sufficient to absorb all of this space in real time, meaning that the vacancy rate, which currently stands at 15.7%, will rise further.  However the good news is that rising vacancy has curtailed new office starts. Consequently the supply pipeline will recede next from year giving demand a chance to catch-up.
