Current Issues in The Housing Forum's work • Promoting industry issues with government and through the trade • Interpreting local housing market issues • Modernising skills and manufacturing issues • Equipping new entrants to the housing market • Building on strengths of all parties

What our members say about urban housing development • Land shortages and typologies, access, land assembly • Value base and cost and scale of upgrading • Changing tenure patterns – evolution of build to rent and direct intervention by councils • Town centre changes and residential potential • Introduce new “players”; some bespoke deals with MHCLG • How will planning reform play out – safe and healthy places and quality?

The Housing Forum’s recent reports Building Homes Building Better December 2017 Key messages: • Fostering a quality culture • Improving the experience of tenants and buyers • Pre-planning, regulation and design quality • Procurement and Construction

Stopping Building Failures June 2018 Three key themes: • Failure of all parties to understand value when cost is such a driver (i.e. lowest cost for developer or builder) • Fragmented process (particularly design and build) between design, construction, development and maintenance • Lack and shortage of skills, supervision (i.e. Clerks of works) and quality assurance.

Stopping Building Failures June 2018 Case studies included : • Value management • Balancing quality and price • Design and Build • Alliancing contracts • Inspections • Quality Hold Points Find out more at: www.housingforum.org.uk

How to reduce building failures • Help and support clients to build capacity, better address value and whole life costs at feasibility stage • Design and procure for quality • Use integrated teams • Consider mandatory site inspections • Improve site skills and use approved specialist contractors (i.e. cladding) • Complex and high-rise developments should use BIM level 2 because it is more efficient and promotes collaboration.

About us • Fifty this year • Offices in London and Manchester • I30+ staff • Multi-disciplinary – architecture, urban design, landscape, sustainability, BIM, interior design, research and writing • Work across all sectors but housing-led • Active and influential in policymaking and campaigning • People-focussed

‘Great design is one of the best tools that we have to build a fairer city. By designing solutions across different contexts and scales, we can affect real change that not only produces better buildings but better serves our communities.’ Justin Garrett Moore, Executive Director NYC Public Design Commission

4 goals: 8 themes Equity, sustainability, resilience and healthy living considered at all scales: 1. Site planning. 2. Massing. 3. Materials. 4. Façade. 5. Windows and doors. 6. Ground floor conditions. 7. Circulation. 8. Open space.

How can a new supportive housing development, twice the height of its neighbours, help to bring dignity to its often stigmatised residents, while enhancing its block and neighbourhood?

How can a contaminated brownfield site be transformed into a socially equitable mini-neighbourhood?

‘Thoughtful attention to materials, scale, green space, sustainability and common areas can be the difference between an affordable housing development that feels isolating and one that is connected to the community and feels like home.’ Barika X, Willams, Deputy Director Association for Neighbourood and Housing Development (ANHD)

6 good growth policies 1. Building strong and inclusive communities. 2. Making the best use of land. 3. Creating a healthier city. 4. Delivering the homes Londoners need. 5. Growing a good economy 6. Increasing efficiency and resilience.

‘Design can never be an afterthought. It has to be integrated from the beginning. We are building for generations. It’s the only way to have a lasting impact. James Patchett President and CEO, NYC Economic Development Corporation
