In a year defined by stretching government housing targets and with the introduction of new sustainability standards on the horizon, the HBF Technical Conference returns at a pivotal moment for the industry.
From skilled labour shortages and rising material costs, to increasingly complex planning requirements and the evolving demands of sustainability and technology, technical teams across the sector face unprecedented challenges.
The HBF Technical Conference provides a platform for technical professionals to explore these topics and look ahead to upcoming changes in regulations and standards.
Led by Rhodri Williams, HBF’s director of technical and sustainability, this year’s event will delve into key topics including:
- The journey towards the Part L Future Homes Standard
- Whole life carbon and its implications
- Water demand reduction and new standards
- Experiences of the gateway process, analysis of the pressures surrounding the high-rise regime and expectations set by the Building Safety Regulator.
Speaker details are being confirmed leading up to the event and will be available on the events section of the Housebuilder website.
An early booking discount is available until August 15 for the Conference, which returns to Austin Court, Birmingham on September 18 2025.
