Construction News, Views and Interviews
There’s always something going on in the world of construction, whether it’s a new building material affected by the building regulations, an innovative technique, an accident on a building site, or an achievement of somebody in the industry that is worthy of attention.
Relevant Building Regulations
While we endeavour to share as much relevant building regulations news as possible with our readers, we invite you to alert us if there is an event, achievement, new invention, interesting building, or in fact anything of interest that is related to the construction industry that you would like to share with us. If you know of anyone you believe would be interesting for us to interview, please don’t hesitate to contact us. And if there is something you believe is worth commenting on, do so.
We don’t promise to use all contributions, but we shall certainly consider them all.
