Whether your flavour is 'John Donne', 'Ernest Hemingway' or 'Metallica' we explore the interconnectedness of all things Building Safety.

Can we hear the 'death rattle' of the current Building Safety Regulator? Is Dame Judith wielding an axe over their neck? Have they misfired too many times? As more investors pull out of building tall residential accommodation how can Angela Rayner ever hope to hit her housing targets? What ever happened to the "waves" approach to Building Safety Case Reports? How many Building Assessment Certificates been issued? Is UKREiiF just a talking shop for tree huggers and eco-consultants?

Once again those happy peeps at HAALO dare to tell it how they see it! Enjoy!

Hello 2025......Once again the HAALO team delve in to the areas of the industry news and gossip that others wish we left alone, including:

• How did we get to Gateway 3 before we'd passed Gateway 2?
• 'Don't change anything....hold on, let's change it all again....HS2 style.
• Is civil engineering sexy?
• Moaning Myrtle wants help to understand whether she should read the new document or the one stamped "WITHDRAWN".
• In the words of Donald J. Trump..."Use your common sense!"
• When safety is compromised by blatant fraud and the authorities couldn't care less?"

ENJOY!!!

Once more the HAALO Team ask some difficult questions:

• Does the construction industry care about the homeless?

• Blacklisting post-Grenfell Yay or nay?

• Can Modern Methods of Construction save the terminal decline of the construction industry?

• ‘Modernise or Die’ - did Mark Farmer call it right in 2016?

• Does UK Construction need a ‘disruptive’ shake-up? Calling Elon Musk!

On at HAALO do you get professionals willing to question the unquestionable

Can we ever hit the housing target? What does the NHBC think?

Are we trapped in an endless downward spiral of an ageing construction workforce? Are we all doomed?

Have we just got a new "Building Safety Minister"? Did we mislay the previous Minister? Are we back to playing revolving doors in Government....but only after lunch?

Is the much vaunted BS 9991 ever going to be published? How much will it cost us all? - "what a nice little earner Rodders!"

Brace yourselves for another podcast from the HAALO team.

We take a look at how Housing policies only seem to benefit the large monopoly builders? Do you need a Lawyer to understand the Law - well not according to the Government? Naughty Developers who won't remediate unsafe buildings will feel the full weight of the Law - but don't worry you won't need a Lawyer? and when is a "Principal Designer" not a "Principal Designer - be very wary of "snake oil salespeople"?

Enjoy....we like digging into the dirt! Be a "Popular Monster"......if you know, you know!

Another podcast and this time from the HAALO team. We take a look at the demise of ISG, why the industry likes to "change as little as possible"? Just what is Sugarcrete? Who is responsible for Regulation 38? How long really is a "minute"? and why you should consider "heat" when choosing a fire door?

Enjoy
