Let SME house builders build the homes we need
The House Builders Association comments on new DCLG housing figures released earlier today.
The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) announced that house completions in England increased by 21% between 2014 and 2015. DCLG statistics showed that 142,390 new homes were built in 2015, compared to 117,950 in 2014.
The House Builders Association (HBA) notes that we are still building more than 100,000 fewer homes than we need. SME house builders can play a crucial role in providing additional homes.
Rico Wojtulewicz, policy advisor for the HBA, said: “There is an incredible opportunity for SME house builders to provide the additional number of homes we need to build. SMEs bring quantity and quality in equal measure, delivering homes to the highest possible standards and more quickly than volume house builders.”
