Almost all major cities in Europe continue to face shortages in affordable housing. Social housing providers are at the frontline when it comes to providing affordable housing. But they face a huge challenge trying to close the gap with limited time and money. In order to speed up production and reduce costs, some providers are turning to innovative new construction methods and processes, like offsite construction, to tackle this challenge.
Building on the very successful Oxford Topic Group Construction (TGC) meeting on offsite construction in February, TGC leader, Eric Danesse, and UK based Housing Association L&Q will host a webinar on 14th May 2020 to discuss this topic with the whole network.
