🎉 Exciting news in the construction world! 🎉 We're thrilled to see Wates and Hill Holdings among the 22 firms that have secured spots on the £800m MMC framework. This four-year housing initiative will revolutionise the industry by focusing on modern methods of construction (MMC) across England and Wales 🌍. The Integrated Traditional Build & MMC framework, led by Procurement for Housing and Building Better, targets various housing projects — from low-rise homes to apartments and extra care homes. It's a strategic move, especially considering data from Glenigan revealing an increase in MMC usage, from 9% in 2017 to 16% in 2023 📈. This framework bridges the gap between traditional building and modern construction techniques, ensuring better outcomes for social housing programmes. We're especially excited for the opportunities this brings to local builders and the social housing sector, fostering a stronger and more sustainable future. Well done to all firms involved! 👏 Connect and follow us for more industry updates! #ConstructionNews #MMC #HousingInnovation

As London Build approaches an end, we’re thrilled with the positive response to our land-finding service and its potential to unlock opportunities for land development, vital to the UK. Yesterday’s panel, Delivering the UK’s Housing Targets: Effective Collaboration Between Government and Housebuilders, brought together industry leaders to discuss the challenges in achieving housing goals. 📰Key takeaways included a call for the industry to embrace more Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), sustainable retrofitting, and private sector backing for local authorities to address delays and skill gaps. SME developers face unique hurdles, but collaboration, innovation, and investment were highlighted as critical solutions. While the panel concluded there is no “silver bullet” for the complex challenges our sector faces, collaboration, innovation, and investment are key to unlocking the solutions we need—and they are within reach. We’re pleased that our Planning Engagement Programme is already helping bridge these gaps and support local authorities in delivering better outcomes. 👉To learn more about this multi-faceted programme of local authority planning support, visit our website: https://lnkd.in/gwBjstNb London Build was a hub of discussion, on the most pivotal, cutting-edge issues facing our industries and the innovative solutions driving progress. We’re proud to play a key role in this conversation and look forward to sharing more insights in the days and weeks ahead.
