In the last few years the UK has seen a steady rise in the number of established developers and house builders who have been looking towards modern methods of construction as an alternative to traditional building methods to ensure they are able to meet their targets and continue to expand as the construction sector recovers.
There have been a number of simple market forces which have caused this significant shift in interest towards off-site construction from house builders and developers. Number one is the supply (or lack of it) of traditional building materials. After the general fall in manufacturing levels of bricks and blocks during the recession followed by the housing markets swift recovery which saw a rise in the demand for materials, rising far quicker than manufacturers’ capacity to increase supply. The end result has been a shortage of bricks & blocks and prices at an all time high. Number two is that in recent years it seems the construction industry is in short supply of good trades people which is resulting in delays on site and higher costs for developers and house builders which has a direct affect on profit margins.
