About the LGMA

The LGMA Housing Delivery Coordination Office (HDCO) investigates and advises on best practice for housing delivery, including in relation to non-traditional delivery channels and the streamlining of existing delivery methods.

To do this the LGMA:

• Develop systems and processes for local authorities to ensure appropriate real time data is available on social and affordable housing delivery programmes

• Support local authorities with specialised skill sets in programme and contract management, project appraisal and technical advice

• Input into social and affordable housing delivery targets in conjunction with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (DHLGH) and ongoing oversight of delivery against targets on a national basis

• Liaise and collaborate with stakeholders in DHLGH, Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs), The Housing Agency, The Land Development Agency (LDA) and The Office of Government Procurement (OGP) on matters of mutual interest in housing delivery

They provide advice on best practice housing delivery channels and methods.


Construction Jobs Expo is an excellent opportunity to meet employers face-to-face, make great industry connections and attend innovative seminars. The event establishes a more informal setting, where you can talk to employers in a more relaxed environment. In addition to meeting employers, there are industry talks from career professionals
