Building new homes and construction are at the forefront of the UK recovery from COVID-19. The housing sector remains underpinned by a massive supply demand imbalance. Increasingly, the development of build to rent, shared ownership and partnership housing is complimenting traditional build for sale. The trend towards modern methods of construction is accelerating. And, more entrants are emerging in the market – housing associations, internationals, funds and contractors.
There is potential for long term growth in construction; building infrastructure and creating core investment products in hot sectors. These include student accommodation, BtR, senior living and logistics. Building materials track trends albeit with a growing emphasis on technology, MMC and energy efficiency.
KPMG has long operated across these sectors. We reach across infrastructure finance, contracting, building new homes and materials to give holistic insight.
