The construction industry is one of the UK's largest employers but the shortage of traditional skilled labour is inhibiting the housebuilding sector's ability to meet demand. As a result, there are poor levels of quality control and low productivity; consumers pay too much for their homes that are often very poor value for money.
We have to give consumers more choice in terms of design and a real alternative to bricks and mortar if we are to meet the shortfall in good, affordable housing.
