Are you ready for the new housing targets? Time to invest in productivity and profitability

Understanding the new housing targets

Angela Rayner's announcement outlines a significant increase in housing building, emphasising the need for faster construction timelines and improved quality standards. This initiative aims to address the housing shortage and provide affordable, sustainable homes across the country. For businesses in the woodworking, MMC and traditional construction sectors, this translates to a need for innovation and efficiency to meet the rising expectations.  The increased targets vary quite markedly across the country, so for some areas the increase in demand cannot be achieved using the existing supply chain as it stands; Redcar and Cleveland have a 952% increase, Burnley a 567% increase and Preston a 391% increase to name just a few of those with the highest changes [1].

Higher housing targets presents a unique opportunity for businesses to evaluate their current capabilities and explore how advanced machinery can enhance their operations. Investing in new machinery not only boosts productivity but also improves the quality and precision of components, aligning with the demand for high-quality construction.
