Builders will struggle to meet the government’s target of delivering 300,000 homes a year in England by the mid-2020s unless the industry switches to prefab construction, the National House Building Council has warned.
The government set the target in December 2017 to fix a “broken housing market”, but it is a long way short.
Last year, though the build rate was higher than in all but one of the past 31 years, it was still only 222,190 net additions.
