Over 250,000 reasons to join the RCN
The need to provide new housing and maintain and improve our existing stock has never been greater. It is estimated that we need to be providing at least 250,000 homes a year to keep up with demand. Whilst there has been an increase in the number of housing completions, this is nowhere near the numbers required and to the levels that were seen after WWII.
The government acknowledges that "continued strong growth in house building will be needed in the years to come to meet the housing needs and ensure market stability".
Be in front ... Stay informed
The Residential Construction Network (RCN) is a networking organisation where our members interact with peers working in their relevant sector.
The RCN is a forum for sharing information on markets and bid and tender opportunities in an open and informal environment.
Our attendees come from a wide range of backgrounds from clients, architects, engineers and main contractors to Registered Providers, Developers and funders - all of whom share a passion for the residential sector.
All our events take place at the The Building Centre, 26 Store Street, London WC1E 7BT.
The event starts at 7:45am with an hour of networking. Tea, coffee, pastries and rolls will be served. We then move on to the presentations. Each presenter will talk for 10-15 minutes. After the presentations we ask all presenters back on to the stage for a Q&A session.
We aim to close the session around 10:00-10:15am with a final 15mins for tea and coffee.
If you are interested in taking part in any of our panel discussion or if you have a topic which you would like to see on our programme please get in touch.
JOIN TODAY to be part of the discussion and stay ahead of market opportunities.
