Jas has been selected as one of Building Magazine’s 40 rising stars, who are expected to shape construction in the decades to come. The “class of 2024” shines the spotlight on impressive talent already working in the built environment – from site managers and planners to sustainability consultants and digital tech experts.
In his interview, Jas discusses anticipated challenges to the construction industry over the course of the next 10 years, suggesting in the short term, the housing market will continue to struggle as the forces that underpin recent turmoil are more entrenched than the industry may have appreciated. He also suggests towards the end of the decade we may seethe government intervene more directly in infrastructure, new towns and social housing as it looks to make good on its pledge to build 1.5 million new homes by 2029.
