do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
Houses in a factory should in theory have better quality control plus no need to have super skilled workers as asign 1 or 2 jobs to each person, corporations will rub there hands
no matter how fast you create the kitbuilt houses - they still need the usual groundworks in preparation for them and damned nigh on impossible to speed that up without some massive tents and a lot more skilled workers to carry it out :rolleyes:

There are options to speed it up. Screw piles for example, yes they need good ground but where suitable would work very well with factory built timber frame houses.
Utilities are a shambles tbh aswell. How have we not got to a point where we have something like multi core ducting or channels in the footways that utilities can share, I believe they have started to do this in other countries

I had considered screw piling -- BUT -- services still have to go in and the piling has to be cock on for a kit-build :rolleyes:

Said that for years. Should be spare ones that are built into new infrastructure that can be utilised in the future

A single multi strand duct would be far quicker than what we do currently. Multiple houses in a street going out to a single jointing pit.
Could even go as far as to fit a macerator to each house and pump the waste out.

I always have added loads of extra ducts to every custom built house. Not worth it on developments but definitely worth it for custom build. Especially now with all sorts of heat pump and solar setups.
A bundle of 150mm ducts just to get out the foundations. Then a few to any outbuildings.

Ok let's predict. See who's right in the morning.
I think labour will win but not as well as everyone thinks.
Tories will retain strongholds and do slightly better than predicted because I'm not feeling a lot of love for labour/Starmer
Reform will get alot of votes and maybe a few seats if they're lucky.
The rest- well let's not dwell on them too much.
