Reshaping the future of UK housebuilding: Introducing M-Dock! 🏘️ With a desperate need for affordable homes, finding the balance between cost, quality, speed of delivery and sustainability is a significant challenge > https://ow.ly/bunt50RIcfn #Construction #Housebuilding #MMC

Last year, the Planning and Environment Committee (PEC) pledged 47,000 new residential units by 2031 within London, but this has raised questions about where these new units will be built. Steve Lehman, Chair of the PEC, has said they'll hopefully be built along transit routes, especially considering the newly underway Wellington Gateway, and the PEC has approved several infill projects, on the basis that "Three to four storeys is not a radical departure in changing the character [of a neighbourhood],” What do you think? Are infill and refit projects the answer the the complexities around continuous new-builds and built-for-purpose properties? #construction #residential #builtenvironment

In late August, Medallion Corporation announced it was embarking on a mission to construct six new purpose-built rental developments in Toronto, Oshawa and Ajax—projects that will bring over 1,500 units to market by 2028, filling a void of need at a time when housing is in short supply. But despite recent policy changes and government programs intended to create a more favourable environment for rental construction, the road forward hasn’t been easy, reported Canadian Apartment Magazine. “There has been no lack of red tape, especially with the City of Toronto,” says Rad Vucicevich, director of development and construction at Medallion. “So far, we’ve encountered problems trying to get permits, trying to get approvals and trying to get moving on construction. While some delays are understandable given what’s been going on these past few years, there is a housing crisis, and we need to do things faster. Some municipalities appear to have a better handle on it than others.” https://lnkd.in/gmtYhkDJ #toronto #construction #residential

Today’s a special day for #teamVantage as we celebrate the one-year anniversary of being crowned Master Builder of the Year! The prestigious accolade from the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) was awarded for our renovation of Old Heaton House for Elevate Property Group. It was a labour of love for us and our client and we’re hugely proud of the transformation. But being an award-winning team is about more than just one project… we apply the same focus to everything we build. In the last year, during which we’ve also scooped the Constructing Excellence Midlands’ award for Best Residential Project of the Year, we’ve often been asked what makes Vantage & Co stand out from the crowd. Of course, there’s lots of factors which contribute to success, but these are our top five! Keen to know what our supply chain and customers think is the most important? 1. Uncompromising Quality Craftsmanship You’d expect us to say this, but it’s true. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional quality in every project we undertake. Our team of skilled craftsmen and women are dedicated to their trades and we love working with them. 2. Innovative Approach to Construction This is baked in from the start. We want to be able to offer solutions to clients that improve efficiency, sustainability, and overall project outcomes. 3. Exceptional Client Relationships This list is not in priority order! Successful projects are built on strong relationships. 4. Commitment to Sustainability This is a no-brainer. We’re always looking to find ways to reduce our environmental impact while creating energy-efficient and eco-friendly buildings that stand the test of time. 5. Investing in our Team Our people are our greatest asset. And our success is built on the skills and dedication of our team. Thanks to everyone who has supported us since we clinched this award. (And if you’d like to know more, there’s a link to the project in the comments. 👇)

Construction and Major renovations? Discussions about land, tender, colours, choice of builder and the list goes on. This process should be exciting, having a lender like myself, who can talk you through the processes for lending and lingo for building. Can make this all SO simple. blair.king@NPBS.com.au Newcastle Permanent Building Society #construction #building
