HBF is the principal voice for home builders in England and Wales, representing members’ interests and supporting regional companies, SMEs, and national developers to plan, develop, and deliver new homes.

We capture insight, evidence, and on-the-ground perspectives directly from the industry to build a detailed understanding of the key issues affecting housing delivery. Through targeted policy, stakeholder and media engagement, we give visibility to these issues and recommended solutions, and lead on practical initiatives to overcome industry challenges.

From active participation in local planning meetings to high-level discussions with MPs and government ministers and officials, our engagement activity ensures that the voice of the home building industry is heard where it matters most.

Our Associate membership is available for individuals and organisations that interact with home builders, including planning consultants, solicitors, surveyors, financial institutions, investment companies, housing consultants, materials manufacturers and suppliers, and estate agents.
