Our Senior guests: Lynsey-Kay Porter from Real Developer, Antler Homes PLC and Orlando Llyod, of Knight Frank Residential Development team helped to unpack where they have adjusted their methods to work within the various complexities currently faced: From planning timeframes to build cost, project finance affordability to land availability.
