The NHBC is taking its housebuilding roadshow on tour across the UK, with plans to hit Northern Ireland shores in early April.
The Building for tomorrow shows will focus on preparing UK house builders for a changing landscape.
NHBC experts will present the latest technical and regulatory updates in house-building as well as sharing best practice gleaned from more than 900,000 site inspections carried out each year.
The 2019 roadshows will focus on preparing for quality homes by covering the changing political, economic and market landscape by tackling such issues as the skills shortage, supply chain challenges and the changes to the regulatory landscape.
Other elements of this year's agenda will include the increasing use of components, framed construction and Modern Methods of Construction. There will also be an update on the proposed changes in fire safety following the Hackitt Review.
Commenting on the agenda, Nick Cunningham, NHBC Regional Director for the South West Region, said: "We are in a period of great change in many aspects of the industry and of course the wider political sphere – we will aim to cover the key issues to help housebuilders adapt to these in the continuing bid to build more, high-quality new homes.
"Over many years Building for tomorrow has proved to be the perfect event to network with professionals from across the UK house-building sector and to showcase your latest products to industry leaders, home builders and housing associations."
The Northern Ireland event will take place on 04 April at the Hilton Templepatrick in Belfast.
