Our vision
To ensure that housing needs are met first and foremost, by the repair,
retrofit and/or refurbishment, of existing structurally sound buildings, rather than by
demolition and the building of replacements.
We propose that a workforce can be trained and employed to refurbish existing
buildings, and therefore include these buildings, often earmarked for demolition, as
part of a solution to the housing crisis, a solution that is healthier for people and the
environment (the planet) than their demolition and rebuild would be.
