Construction Collusions: A Plot to Shield Builders and Expose Residents
An episode of Cladding Matters
In this thought-provoking episode of Cladding Matters, hosts Gareth Wax and Hamish McLay explore the world of building safety, uncovering a complex web of regulatory inconsistencies and industry practices that appear to protect builders at the expense of residents.
Our panel features seasoned voices in the field:
Stephen Day, a resident of Royal Artillery Quays known for his meticulous assessments and first-hand experience.
Silas J Lees and Zahrah Aullybocus, returning guests with expert insights into the systemic issues plaguing building safety.
Wendy Gibson, a passionate advocate for first-time homebuyers, who helps unravel how building safety (or lack thereof) affects those entering the housing market for the first time.
The discussion navigates the curious case at Royal Artillery Quays, where one out of eight stairwells among uniformly constructed blocks has received a London Fire Brigade enforcement notice. This inconsistency raises key questions about the reliability of safety enforcement and the criteria used.
The episode also takes a critical look at the PAS9980 remediation standard - accepted by some government officials and builders, yet deemed high-risk by lenders and insurers. What does this mean for those trapped in fire risk properties and financially blighted?
Together, the panel explores why current regulations may be skewed in favour of those responsible for construction shortcomings, and whether meaningful reform is on the horizon. Is it possible to strike a balance between profitability and the safety of those living in these buildings?
This episode is a good-listen for residents, first-time buyers, industry professionals, and anyone concerned with the future of housing safety and fairness in the UK.
