Timber-framed housing: Growing sector

Large housebuilders are partnering with or investing in timber frame manufacturing capacity to develop their own supply chain. With larger numbers of timber-framed houses being built in England than ever before our expert panel will explore what we can expect to see in the sector:

  • How quickly can we expect the proportion of timber-framed houses in England to increase?
  • What parts of the supply chain will need to grow and develop to keep up with the pace?
  • What are the technical drivers for the growth in timber-framed houses?
  • How quickly are we seeing the technology and specification developing?
