A public hearing organised by the European Parliament examined the relationship between construction materials, housing affordability and the regulatory framework affecting the construction sector. Participants discussed factors influencing housing delivery across Europe, including material costs, labour shortages and supply chain developments.

The debate also explored the role of innovation, digitalisation and the revised Construction Products Regulation in shaping construction practices and the availability of construction products on the market. Discussions focused on policy and market factors relevant to housing affordability, building safety and sustainability across the EU.
