Other companies have suffered similar damage to their reputation, and even though in the latest HBF survey no company scored less than four stars, it was reported that 94% of new-build buyers had reported snags to their builder.
Skills, labour and materials shortages are hampering efforts to maintain standards as demand for housing continues to rise. Covid-19 has slowed production further, with many people on furlough or working from home and social distancing measures required on site.
As much as we all want to deliver beautiful and functional homes to our customers, occasionally things 'out of our control' go wrong. So what can we do to bring as much as we can inside our control?
An innovative approach to quality
The UK government's 'Construction 2025' report noted that two-thirds of construction contracting firms are 'not innovative'. Many housebuilders rely on paper, spreadsheets or ineffective software to manage the build process. Working this way can miss the underlying causes of quality issues. No-one has the time to monitor and inspect every piece of work done by their staff or contractors. How can you promote a Right First Time culture without close-up and personal supervision?
