The Home Builders Federation (HBF) is a trade association representing private sector homebuilders in England and Wales.
[2] From 1997 to 2000 it was part of the NFBTE successor umbrella organisation, the Construction Confederation, but started to withdraw in 2000,[4] voting in 2001 to terminate its membership by January 2003.
HBF members include national names (e.g. Barratt Redrow, Bellway, Cala Homes and Persimmon) and smaller regional or local businesses, plus Registered Social Landlords, suppliers and companies who provide professional services to the home building industry.
For example, in February 2022, it accused the UK government of not working "constructively" to resolve the post-Grenfell cladding and fire safety crisis, and of hurling "clearly not proportionate" threats against the housing industry.
[6] In July 2022, the HBF wrote to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, unhappy about the commitments its members were being asked to make regarding remediation of unsafe cladding.
