How House Builders Operate in 2025

The major UK house builders run at scale. Most divide their operations by region and use frameworks of subcontractors for groundwork, civils, brickwork, M&E and finishing trades. They also partner with housing associations and local authorities on mixed-tenure schemes.

Key patterns:

  • Most homes are built on land banks secured 3–5 years in advance.

  • Partnerships and joint ventures are growing across brownfield sites.

  • Offsite methods remain limited, with traditional brick-and-block dominating output.

Key Trends Among UK House Builders

1. Consolidation is increasing

Barratt’s acquisition of Redrow is a signal of things to come. Fewer large developers are now delivering a greater share of new homes.

2. Focus on margins, not volume

With high land and build costs, house builders are prioritising profit per plot over pushing output.

3. Labour shortages persist

Skilled trades remain in short supply across the UK. This continues to drive delays and costs.

4. Environmental pressures

Sustainability rules and biodiversity net gain laws are slowing down planning and increasing compliance overheads.

Common Groundworks Contractors

Large house builders work with repeat subcontractors for site prep, drainage, utilities and roads. Notable names include:

Most use structured procurement routes and require evidence of health and safety compliance, insurance, and past site experience.
