520 _aDiscusses the UK government decent homes initiative and opportunities for social housing contractors. Notes that social housing currently forms around 15% of the new build homes market, although it is worth an estimated £14bn a year and is set to increase. Highlights the greater flexibility in the social housing market, as demonstrated by larger mixed-use developments.

Concludes by looking at the new challenges contractors will face when contract lettings for decent homes start to drop.
