What are the capability and capacity gaps (both in delivering high quality new housing and remedying issues in existing stock) facing the construction workforce in the UK and what impact do those gaps have on housing quality and safety?

Background

Following the Grenfell inquiry, MHCLG committed to accelerating building remediation and ensuring building safety. The department is interested in developing its understanding of the drivers of behaviour across the industry, and the benefits and potential risks that technological change may bring. We also have a focus on exploring the issues that affect different housing tenures.
