An organisation representing the homebuilding industry in Scotland has today launched a new fiveyear strategy with a focus on improving quality and customer satisfaction.

Homes for Scotland (HFS), whose members include Balfour Beatty Homesandcharleschurch (Scotland), unveiled the document to an audience of 200 senior industry representatives and housing stakeholders at its annual conference in Edinburgh.

Also announced was the extension of the Five Star Builder initiative to Scotland, which will allow buyers of new homes to compare builders for customer satisfaction. More than ten of HFS’ members have signed up, including A & J Stephen (Builders).

HFS chief executive Nicola Barclay said the launch shows the organisation’s approach to collaboration. “We want everyone with an interest in increasing housing supply to unify around the primary purpose of delivering more homes for Scotland so that we can meet the needs and aspirations of our growing population.”
