Routledge - Grenfell and Construction Industry Reform Guide

This book provides a necessary look at the urgent changes needed to build a new building safety regime in the UK. Following the tragedy at Grenfell Tower, the industry faces a period of significant transformation. This guide addresses the findings from the inquiry into the fire and the independent Hackitt Review, which highlighted deep-rooted issues within the current state of the UK construction sector. Construction professionals will find a detailed examination of the practices and behaviors that must change to prevent similar tragedies from occurring. The text reflects on the scathing assessments provided by Dame Judith Hackitt, who noted that the industry has failed to learn from other sectors or reflect on its own failings. By understanding these systemic issues, professionals can better navigate the evolving landscape of building safety and regulatory standards. This resource is designed for those seeking to understand the path toward meaningful reform and improved safety protocols in the UK construction industry.
