The construction industry has labelled the situation desperate, and tonight nine years can reveal a plan to get back on track. In a housing crisis time is critical, and tonight a pledge to make supply a whole lot speedier.

For the first time governments have taken a serious look to work together the cut red tape on modular housing. Prefabricated homes, already popular in Scandinavia, Japan and Germany, are built quicker, often cheaper and with less labour than standard bricks and mortar.

Housing giant Mervak already, trailing the technology here. We’ve been able to reduce the construction of those homes down to watertight within 12 weeks.

But as vowed to build 1.2 million homes over five years, tonight already there are concerns from the states we are falling behind. Partly due to lack of tradies, with 90,000 additional trades people needed in the next three months to reach the government’s housing target.

Every single builder at the moment is saying to me, we need more people. And because we don’t have enough people, we’re seeing delays and we’re seeing impacts in terms of cost.

Even federal governments are promising to eliminate red tape and regulations surrounding construction and finance of prefabricated homes with a new model from mid this year.

Claudia, there’s a fresh push to make migrants part of the short term solution. Yeah, that’s right Pete. While we do need to get more Australians trained up on the tools, industry groups say migration needs to be made an urgent priority.

Last year, Labour’s new migration strategy excluded foreign tradeys from a new fast-track visa stream to make room for more competitive global industries like tech.

The Master Builders Association has called that a missed opportunity joining calls for it to be changed as the opposition seizes on data out this week that shows a surge in overseas arrivals.

If you handle it in those people, why wouldn’t you put on the skills list, the tradeys? The tradeys that we need to make sure they have some way to live.

We have been working and I know that the Home Affairs Minister and the Minister for Immigration have been working to slow that down, but importantly on housing, we’re working with our partners in the States to deliver more housing.

Currently, visas for overseas tradeys are processed at a slightly slower pace, Pete. That can be anywhere between one to three weeks.
