Solving the fabric retrofit scale-up challenge

Introduction

In this episode, Claire Brown is joined by Adam Slader and Alex Whitcroft, co-founders of VundaHaus. Together they explore the real barriers holding retrofit back, from labour shortages and funding uncertainty to productivity and resident engagement, and discuss how innovation, offsite manufacturing and data-led approaches can unlock delivery at scale. The conversation also dives into the Innovate UK funded Transformer project, showcasing how collaboration across the supply chain can reduce risk, improve certainty and accelerate retrofit programmes for social landlords and housing providers.

This episode is essential listening for local authorities, housing associations, retrofit professionals and anyone involved in delivering low-carbon, healthy homes at scale.
