The Federation of Master Builders<\/a> (FMB) House Builders\u2019 Survey 2019 has highlighted the importance of the self and custom build sector as a source of work for its members<\/h2>\n

The House Builders\u2019 Survey 2019 indicates that over half of its housebuilder members have built a home to the plan and specification of a new homeowner in the last year. This reflects the close links between the small and medium-sized (SME) homes market and the self and custom build.<\/p>\n

Each year the FMB conducts its House Builders’ Survey to assess the housing market and the constraints facing the SME market<\/a>, a sector that\u2019s experienced a dramatic decline.<\/p>\n

In 1988, two thirds of all homes in the UK were built by SME builders. However, since 2007 the number of SME housebuilders has halved, representing a serious loss capacity.<\/p>\n

To alleviate the housing crisis<\/a>, the government wants to see the return of SME housebuilders. This aligns with its ambitions for self and custom build to be a valuable source of additional new housing.<\/p>\n

This link between the two sectors strengthens both the National Custom and Self-Build Association<\/a> (NaCSBA) and the FMB in their work to remove barriers to growth, such as access to land and finance.<\/p>\n

The House Builders’ Survey 2019 found: \u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

52% of housebuilder members have built a new home to the plan and specification of the new home owner in the last year.<\/p>\n

Of these the vast majority, 42% have built one, 32% have built 2, 10% have built 4-5 and 12% have built 6-10 homes.<\/p>\n

The vast majority (68%) reported that one of these was on land they obtained for the development, 19% reported 2-3, 8% reported 4-5 and 3% reported 6-10.<\/p>\n

Andrew Baddeley-Chappell, CEO of the NaCSBA, said: \u201ccustom and self- build has the potential to help the Government reach its targets of creating 300,000 homes per year by the mid 2020s, and the SME sector is crucial in delivering this.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to see more opportunities that create a level playing field that enables our sector to operate in the same conditions as the large housebuilders, such as having a Help to Build Equity Loan that mirrors the support that Help to Buy Equity Loan has given to the mass market.<\/p>\n

“A Help to Build Equity Loan would also provide low-cost development finance to SME housebuilders, helping them to flourish and grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brian Berry, chief executive of the FMB, added:\u00a0\u201cIf the government is going to increase both the quantity and quality of new homes a more diverse house building industry is needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe largest housebuilders build over 80% of all new homes, and just over 20% are built by SME housebuilders. This used to be the reverse with SMEs building two thirds of all new homes in the late 1980s.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat this new research shows is that custom and self-build can help bolster SMEs because, without local builders to help find land, service the plots and to build the houses, custom and self-build delivery is much more difficult. This is why the FMB is working closely with NaCSBA to share data and knowledge to help the sector grow.\u201d<\/p>\n
