Builder Barratt Developments shrugged off supply chain issues saying it is on track to complete between 17,000 and 17,250 homes in the year ending next June.
Barratt said it has noticed "some macroeconomic uncertainty" but its financial position is strong enough to react to changes this year. Chief executive David Thomas said: "We continue to work closely with our suppliers and sub-contracrors and haven't experienced any significant disruption to our builkd programme as a resultof the challenging supply chain environment."
But building costs will rise by up to 5 per cent this year, Barrett predicts.
