I think ultimately major housebuilders are going to have to be the ones to take on MMC to help (potentially) improve their margins , rather than new companies coming into a market that is so flat at the moment. The risk/reward is just too high for smaller businesses. It's a shame!

Green energy and power projects are very much on the menu with a lot of approvals being pushed through by Labour. It's a good time to learn about the construction process in this segment and see where there might be gaps in supply.

Housebuilding targets are back and the gov is making efforts to free up planning. Is this the year supply finally stabilizes?
