Osborne To Spur 400,000 New Homes

Osborne spurs house builders to deliver 400,000 homes

George Osborne

Chancellor George Osborne attempted to galvanise reluctant house builders into delivering more homes with a £6.9bn package of measures.

Critically the affordable housing package in the combined Autumn Statement and Spending Review includes cash to stimulate the supply-side and demand-side of the housing sector.

He also said transport capital spending would be raised to fund HS2 and the roads programme as the department’s operational budget was slashed by 37% but its capital spending will increase as previously planned by 50% to £61bn, compared to the last five-year period.

“That funds the largest road investment programme since the 1970s, for we are the builders,” added Osborne.

The funding includes starting construction on High Speed 2, and sticking to plans to spend £13.4bn on the Roads Investment Strategy to deliver 112 major schemes and over £5bn on roads maintenance.

Up to £475m will be released towards the end of five years to fund large local transport projects, enabling local areas to bid for funding for projects that would be too expensive for them to pay for by themselves, such as the Lowestoft Third River Crossing and the North Devon Link Road.

The Government has ramped up spending on the school estate and committed to spend £23bn over the Parliament to open 500 free schools, provide over 600,000 additional school places, rebuild and refurbish over 500 schools and address essential maintenance needs.

Spending Review other key points
New £300m Transport Development Fund, supporting development work for projects like Crossrail 2
Apprenticeship levy will be set at 0.5% of an employers wage bill
£1.3bn to reform prison estate by building nine prisons
£310m for 15,000 homes at Ebbsfleet garden city
£400m to build new integrated public health science hub in Harlow
Creation of 25 enterprise zones
Council free to raise business rate to fund infrastructure and spend all capital receipts from asset sales
£150m for a new dementia research institute at a UK university site
£150m to build new storage facility for the British Museum, Science Museum and Victoria and Albert Museum
£97m Thameslink station at Brent Cross
Extra £250m for Kent transport
Fund new home for Royal College of Arts in Battersea

Total spend 17.5 18.7 18.0 19.1 22.1 23.9 120.4

On housing he added: “First I am doubling the housing budget to £2bn a year and will deliver 400,000 new homes by the end of the decade. That is the biggest house building programme since the 70′s.”

Full details have still to emerge but the spending package includes direct subsidies of up to £2.3bn to developers to spur them into building 200,000 starter homes — properties for sale to first-time buyers at a 20% discount to their market value.

The new starter homes discount policy first announced in October 2014 will be available on prices up to £450,000 in London and £250,000 elsewhere.

On the demand-side up to £4bn will be channeled into building 135,000 Help to Buy: Shared Ownership homes for households earning less than £80,000.

In London, this threshold will stand at £90,000. The Chancellor also launched the London Help to Buy scheme, which will provide interest free loans on up to 40% of loans.

A further £400m is earmarked to help build 8,000 specialist homes for older people or those with disabilities.

Up to £200m has been found for 10,000 new homes that tenants can live in for five years at reduced rents while they save for a deposit. They will then have “first right” to buy the home.

Construction Forecast Downgraded

Forecasters have lowered construction growth predictions for this year and next owing to a slowdown in third quarter housing and commercial activity.

Even with a weaker growth forecast, contractors can still count a near 20% rise in construction from 2015 to 2019. This will be driven by growth in the three largest construction sectors; private housing, commercial and infrastructure.

According to the Construction Products Association industry output is now expected to grow 3.6% in 2015, down from the expected 4.9% spurt forecast back in the summer.

Next year the industry’s growth rate is expected to be slightly ahead of 2015 at 3.8%, down from the 4.2% first forecast.

Forecast highlights

Construction growth downgraded

 

 

Construction output: up 3.6% in 2015 and 3.8% in 2016
Private housing starts: up 7% this year and 5% in 2016
Public housing starts: down 10% in 2015 and 5% in 2016
Offices construction: up 8% in 2015 and 7% in 2016
Infrastructure output: up 13.2% in 2015 and 7.6% in 2016
Key risks include skills shortages and government austerity

 

 

 

Dr Noble Francis, economics director, said: “We remain positive about prospects for the construction industry. The slowdown in Q3 activity is expected to be temporary.”

“The commercial sector is forecast to enjoy growth from 2016 averaging 3.9% per year through to 2019. New offices construction is expected to be the primary driver, with increasing activity in cities such as Birmingham and Manchester as well as growth in the capital.”

“Retail construction is expected to improve but a consolidation of expansion plans by major supermarket chains will constrain growth rates.”

“Infrastructure activity continues to thrive. Output in the sector is forecast to grow 11.2% on average per year between 2015 and 2019, supported in large part by the £411bn National Infrastructure Plan.”

He said that the roads and energy sub-sectors would be strongest but work is forecast to increase throughout the forecast period in all key sub-sectors; roads, energy, rail, water and sewerage.

“Private housing starts are forecast to rise, with major house builders signalling their intention to build more homes over the next 12-18 months,” said Dr Francis.

“Help to Buy accounts for one quarter of new build purchases and will help to sustain demand. House prices continue to increase in most regions, especially in London and the South East, illustrating a strong underlying demand.”

“Public housing, however, is expected to be adversely affected by uncertainty and a lack of funding due to the extension of Right to Buy to housing associations and cuts to social rent. As a result, public housing starts are estimated to fall 10.0% in 2015 and a further 5.0% in 2016.”

But Dr Francis warned: “While growth prospects in construction remain positive, there are significant risks. Government austerity focuses on current spending rather than capital investment but the risk remains that if government cannot reduce current spending as much as it anticipates, it may cut public construction projects to achieve its aims of eliminating the public sector deficit.”

“In addition, within the construction industry, the key concerns regard skills shortages, which have already been reported in the housing sector but may become more prevalent across the wider industry over the next 12-18 months due to the forecast growth.”

Barhale To Use Drones

Barhale calls in drones for Anglian Water alliance

Drones

Barhale is turning to ‘eye in the sky’ drone technology to deliver a major alliance works programme for Anglian Water.

The civil engineering firm plans to spend £1.3m over the next five years with drone specialist Geocurve to help deliver the initial AMP6 term of its 15-year framework agreement, said to be worth up to £1.25bn.

It has been hailed as a ground-breaking deal by Strato Aero, US parent company of Geocurve, that starts to mirror North America where drones are used more commonly to survey work and check the progress of workers.

The drones will be used for inspection and surveying as Barhale delivers schemes ranging from the design and build of major infrastructure networks and treatment works, to tackling flooding, water quality improvements and maintenance of existing assets.

Barhale is working in collaboration with both the operational and asset management teams within Anglian Water and the wider supply chain to drive a more efficient working programme of maintenance and capital works.

Tony Dunleavy, CEO of Strat Aero, said: “We firmly believe this market is set to grow exponentially in the years ahead as UAVs transform business practices and provide considerable cost savings to customers across a diverse range of sectors.”

“Upon finalisation, the £1.3m Barhale contract will be the first the group has secured since we launched our broader strategy to become a full global solutions provider in the rapidly emerging high growth unmanned aerial vehicle sector.”

Edge Careers Psychometric Testing

,

At Edge Careers, we are always looking at how we can improve our offering to our candidates and clients so we can deliver the highest quality recruitment solution possible. One of our offerings that you may not be aware of, is our psychometric testing, which we offer to all clients when our candidate is at interview stage.

I’ve heard of Psychometric Testing, but what exactly is it?

Psychometric testing is simply a way of assessing a candidate’s individual personality, attitude and motivations in the workplace. This allows a client to see if a candidate would suit the company and the role they have been put forward to. There are four key styles that are tested as part of the DiSC psychometric testing, which are Dominance, Influence, Conscientiousness and Steadiness. Everyone has a mixture of all four styles but will have a bias towards one or two styles this will be shown by where the dot falls on the DiSC illustration.

DiSC Basic

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why do Edge use DiSC Psychometric Testing?

Edge Careers uses the DiSC psychometric testing because, every profile is:

  • Valid and reliable – respondents are amazed by the accuracy and detail of their reports
  • Memorable – with no complicated letters and numbers to remember
  • Extremely well written – constructed, and presented. Each profile appears to have been written by an adept human author rather than a computer!
  • Application specific – offering different adaptations of a profile and model to serve different populations- specifically leaders, managers, sales people and general staff in an organisation.
  • Relatable and applicable meaning the learning is easily transferred into the workplace
  • Quick and simple to administer – each questionnaire is completed on-line in just 15 minutes and can be immediately accessed

How accurate are the results?

The Psychometric test uses the most advanced assessment method (adaptive testing) and sophisticated algorithms to quickly and accurately analyse a person’s responses and provide personalised feedback.
