Pat Hayes - How Modular Construction can deliver large scale affordable housing developments
Pat Hayes is Managing Director of Be First, an innovative development vehicle set up to deliver 50,000 new homes and 20,000 new jobs for the borough of Barking and Dagenham over the next 20 years. Pat discusses his experience as a planner delivering large scale regeneration projects with private developers at Ealing, Lewisham, and then as a partnership manager for TFL. Pat has a refreshing view of the role that planning can take in positively shaping developments, and how clear parameters and a collaborative approach can produce results for both the Local Authority and the private developer. We also cover his ambitious plans at Be First, and how modular construction is being used to deliver large scale affordable housing within Barking and Dagenham. If you are a developer or consultant working in Barking and Dagenham, this is a must-listen.
