In collaboration with Harlow consulting and commissioned by the National Housing Federation, Cast has written a report exploring the benefits of long term funding in the construction sector and the current effects of short term funding.
The report highlights key areas that funding could aid in the industry, such as increased skills development and training resources for upcoming and existing workforces and greater uptake of Modern Methods of Construction, in turn reducing building errors, waste and reducing carbon levels.
A properly funded affordable housing sector can help the offsite manufacturing industry grow by providing a steady pipeline of work that
can support demand even during a downturn when private sector activity is reduced.
The report also investigates how the economy directly affects the construction sector, and why current short-term funding pledges leave house-builders vulnerable in an unstable market. See below for the full report.
