Sessions brought to you by ARL and Winvic
This event requires a UKREiiF ticket.
The UK’s housing crisis demands a radical shift in how investors, developers, and contractors collaborate. With a target of delivering 1.5 million homes, the industry must move beyond traditional silos and embrace new ways of working that prioritise trust, compliance and shared value.
