Supported by:
The programme is supported by The Home Builders Federation, who is a membership organisation and a voice for the collective industry. As an industry home builders do everything from identifying great spaces to selling the houses. With the current housing shortage at the top of every political agenda, we’re building more and more homes the nation needs. A career in house building can be incredibly versatile. Home builders work with communities to find suitable locations and collaborate with architects and planners to design great places. Then to actually build a home, they need everything from craftsmen to project managers and sales advisors. All of these roles come together to make each home as attractive, affordable, and efficient as possible. That means keeping them warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer, and helping families save money on bills all year round.
