PART 6 - Less speed more haste – Grenfell – when will we learn It has been a little over two months, but over the coming weeks, many questions will still be asked around the Grenfell tragedy.

This means that we end up not in design and build mode, but...

Part 4: The Symptoms vs. the disease - a solution The simple solution to addressing regulation and enforcement does not requires rafts of legislation (except perhaps in fire safety), but the simple enforcement of simplified regulations, which are designed to give us a safe, healthy built environment that we can enjoy in a sustainable way. For this to work Building Regulations and Planning...
