POLICY :
HBF works with Government and stakeholders to develop housing policy in the UK. Membership gives companies a voice on current issues through inclusive and specialist representation and access to up to date information on policy development.
By co-ordinating an industry wide response in its dealings with Ministers and Government personnel, HBF ensures a two way flow of information that ensures the industry’s views are heard – and that the industry is aware of issues that affect them.
COMMUNICATING ON BEHALF OF THE INDUSTRY :
HBF responds to consultation documents on behalf of the home building industry following wide consultation with members through its national and regional committee structure and through regular more informal member contact.
HBF has regular effective contact with the ministerial team and officials within CLG, Treasury, No 10 Policy Unit, DTI, Bank of England, key House of Commons Select Committees, MPs and Government Regional Offices. HBF also represents the industry in the media to ensure its position is reflected.
