WELCOME to the latest edition of UK Construction Excellence. This month we saw August trends heating up even if the weather wasn’t, with strong figures reported from UK manufacturing and regular gains in house prices bolstering the industry. The residential market continues to lead the way with starts on new build homes surging to a decade high. While the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has unveiled new measures to boost affordable housing in the capital, using a scheme designed to assist developers through the planning process. Inquiries into large-scale cladding following the Grenfell disaster have now been completed, with BRE testing numerous material combinations. Well over 200 properties have now been deemed unsafe, and owners are working with the Government to bring appropriate measures into the properties. In this issue we speak with Wrightstyle, a company with 20 years history in probing fire safety regulations. Here they discuss how regulations differ across the British Isles and how warnings should have been heeded some 14 years ago. And, as always, we catch up with the latest contract news, industry movers and guest contributors, inside.
