Building for Tomorrow - Embracing the Future Homes Standard (New Date)
Join Gryd and Shoosmiths for an industry briefing and networking event focused on the Future Homes Standard (FHS) - a transformative policy set to reshape the way we design, build, and power new homes in the UK.
As the industry prepares for this shift, hear insights from top legal and industry experts on what the Future Homes Standard means for you. The panel session will explore how compliance doesn’t have to mean added complexity or cost - and discover the strategies and proven solutions already in play.
Following the panel discussion, we’ll close with drinks and networking, giving you the chance to connect with peers, solution providers, and experts in a relaxed setting.
Whether you're looking for answers, collaborators, or inspiration, this is your opportunity to gain the clarity and confidence to navigate the future of housebuilding.
