Build to Rent
A new set of challenges for designers and the construction sector

The new BTR industry sector represents a huge opportunity to boost the UK’s housing supply, but brings with it a number of key challenges. Over the last six months, we have explored some of these issues from the perspective of the investor, designer and tenant.

Main contractors
