MPs warn housebuilders must embrace modern methods of construction The Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee has warned the Government that an over-reliance on traditional building methods will see the UK fall far short of its target to build 300,000 new homes a year by mid-2020s. In a new report, the Committee urges the Government to unlock the potential for modern methods of construction (MMC) to build homes quicker, more cheaply, while maintaining build quality.

The need for more homes is acute and
Strong overseas interest generated for new rooftop development Significant levels of interest from overseas investors and young professionals have been generated by two luxury penthouse apartments in south London, according to airspace development specialist Click Above.
