As with many sectors, it’s an interesting time for construction and the UK house building sector with many experts unsure as to what the future really holds concerning house building, property prices and the longer term impact of leaving the EU.

The housing shortage is given plenty of airtime and it’s widely recognised that around a quarter of a million new homes are required to be built each year to address our chronic housing shortage, but with current rates lagging well behind this, and demand continuing to outstrip supply, what are the implications and what do suppliers and UK house builders need to know for 2021 and beyond? And what about the repercussions for those brands and suppliers feeding into the market, the tradespeople, plumbers, electricians, heating suppliers, flooring suppliers etc?​

Regardless of the supply chain, the researchers at Eureka! get excited about gathering customer and stakeholder expectations and innovation in pretty much any construction related sector. We work with builders, developers and the wider supply chain to better understand the market and its customers. We keep our finger on the pulse and you will regularly see us at construction industry shows and events keeping up with the latest trends and new product launches.
