With the Government reaffirming its commitment to delivering 1.5 million new homes in England, the construction industry will need the people, plant and specialist services to turn those ambitions into reality.
John Sutch Cranes is playing its part, providing crane hire services on a Barratt housing development in Cheshire, where lifting operations are helping keep the housebuilding programme moving.
From lifting roof trusses and timber frame kits into position to handling the materials needed at different stages of construction, cranes are an essential part of modern housebuilding. Getting materials safely and efficiently into position allows other trades to continue their work and helps maintain progress across a busy site.
The work comes against the backdrop of the Government's continued commitment to its housing ambitions. In the Budget, ministers reaffirmed their target of delivering 1.5 million new homes in England by the end of this Parliament.
Achieving that ambition will require more than planning permissions and development sites. It will depend on a construction supply chain capable of supporting housebuilders throughout the delivery process, including specialist lifting contractors who provide the equipment, expertise and operational support needed on site.
For John Sutch Cranes, housing developments remain an important part of its work across the North West and beyond.
Paul Parry, Sales Director at John Sutch Cranes, said:
With housebuilders facing continued pressure to deliver new homes, having dependable specialist contractors in place will remain an important part of turning housing targets into homes.
