• "Learning to Survive!"
    Nov 20 2024

    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!

  • "Calling all Skeletons!"
    Nov 6 2024

    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!"

  • "Popular Monster"
    Oct 27 2024

    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

  • "Loss of Control!"
    Mar 18 2024

    What is going on with Building Control in the run up to 8th April 2024? Why does it appear like the industry is in meltdown? Who is and who is not competent - and why not?


    Once again the HAALO team rip the lid off industry gossip and say the things we all think!


    oh...and are you paying too much for your standards and regulations - you will be shocked to find out!!! We guarantee that....
