Insulation specialists Actis<\/a> have emphasised the need for increased offsite-construction and bringing more young people into the construction sector to deliver the Government’s planning reforms<\/h2>\n

Increasing the percentage of offsite-constructed homes and encouraging more young people to embrace a career in construction will be key components in enabling the government to implement its planning reform aims and new homes targets, says insulation specialist Actis.<\/p>\n

The comment follows news that the first phase of the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, to be introduced in the spring, will see developers potentially being given default permission to build homes near commuter and transport hubs.<\/p>\n

Actis UK and Ireland sales director Mark Cooper explained: “Alongside overhauling the planning system, practical considerations need to be taken into account if the government is to achieve its aim of delivering 1.5m homes during the current parliament.<\/p>\n

Offsite construction offers faster, more energy efficient production<\/h3>\n

“These include increasing the number of offsite homes we build as a nation and making a concerted effort to encourage more young people to enter the construction industry.<\/p>\n

“We will need to increase the rate at which we deliver new homes, with offsite being an excellent way to achieve this as they can be built up to 30% more quickly than their traditional counterparts.<\/p>\n

“Elements such as wiring, plumbing and insulation take place offsite, in the factory. Our insulation systems take between 25 and 50% less time to install than traditional alternatives, which all helps to speed up the process. The onsite build element typically takes between seven and 12 days, depending on the size of house.<\/p>\n

“While they are quicker to build, the quality of offsite homes is far better controlled. Timber frame homes can be thermally superb, cutting carbon emissions and saving money and resources.<\/p>\n

The government needs to tackle the skills shortage to meet new homes targets<\/h3>\n

“With a recent report by Checkatrade revealing that the UK needs another 1.3m skilled workers and 350,000 apprentices<\/a>, the industry and government needs to make a concerted effort to attract new recruits. In the meantime, the reduced build time of offsite houses means more homes can be constructed by fewer people.”<\/p>\n

Actis is involved in school and college outreach initiatives to encourage more young people to consider careers in construction and it also helps upskill existing construction professionals via its RIBA-approved CPDs – Tomorrow’s Insulation Solutions for Future Homes Standards and Addressing the performance gap with reflective insulation.<\/p>\n
