episode Build Up from the Basement Kit Malthouse cover

Build Up from the Basement Kit Malthouse

What does it really take to hit the UK’s ambitious housing targets, and why does design matter just as much as quantity? In this episode of Build Up: From the Basement, Iona sits down with Kit Malthouse MP, former Housing Minister, to explore the big lessons from his time in government and his candid predictions for the future of construction. From the challenges of meeting the 300,000 homes target to the practical constraints of bricks, skills, and planning, Kit shares what he learned about turning policy into real homes and why his mantra was “more, better, faster.” The conversation also dives into the “conspiracy of crap” in housing design, the vital role of small builders, and how to make construction an aspirational career for the next generation. Kit offers his views on apprenticeships, progression, and whether licensing builders would help or hinder the industry – with stories from his time in Government, and his own experience hiring builders. Packed with insights and straight-talking advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about housing, design, and the future of UK construction.
