Your views sought | Building 1.5 million quality homes

The Construction Industry Council (CIC) is seeking to gather insights, strategies, and innovative solutions to meet the pressing need for quality homes.

CIC is particularly interested in evidence, including examples of proven strategies, addressing the following areas:

• Economic viability: How do we balance economic viability with high quality - what are the current barriers to that?
• Sustainable building practices: How can we ensure that new homes are environmentally friendly and energy-efficient?
• Affordable housing solutions: What strategies can be implemented to make housing more affordable for all income levels?
• Innovative construction techniques: How can modern construction methods and technologies accelerate the building process while maintaining quality?
• Policy and regulatory frameworks: What changes in policy and regulation are necessary to support the rapid construction of quality homes?
• Community and infrastructure development: How can we ensure that new housing developments are well-integrated with local communities and infrastructure?
• Flood risk management: How can we avoid building in areas of higher flood risk to minimise potential damage and ensure safety?

CIAT will be preparing a submission to the call for evidence, and would gratefully receive any views or contributions, including examples and case studies, via email to [email protected] by 30 April 2025.

Should you also wish to respond to the consultation directly, submissions of no more than four pages should be sent to [email protected] by 14 May 2025.
