Matt Hodges-Long, Founder of TrackMyRisks / Building Safety Register and Steve Bunce Building Safety Case Manager, Lewisham Council discussed challenges in ‘managing building safety information at scale’
The Grenfell Inquiry Phase 2 report landed last week and we are all busy picking through the 58 recommendations…
What will they mean?
Will the Government accept them?
How long will they take?
Last night our CEO Matt Hodges-Long joined Sarah-Jane Mee on Sky News for their 1 hour Grenfell special. Matt calls for clearer Government leadership and stronger regulatory enforcement.
It’s now two days since the devastating Dagenham fire at the Spectrum Building. How might the newly empowered Building Safety Regulator exercise its powers of enforcement and prosecution against the legal duty holder, the Principal Accountable Person?
Our CEO Matt Hodges-Long was asked by LBC to write a short opinion piece tracking the 7 years from Grenfell Tower to the Spectrum Building and to give some thoughts on the role of Government in the Building Safety Crisis.
Our CEO Matt Hodges-Long explains that fire safety issues in mid-rise blocks were overlooked due to the post-Grenfell focus on cladding problems inhigh-rise buildings.
When Sky News approached us for comment on the prohibition (forced evacuation) of the Skyline Chambers building in Manchester it was a good opportunity to share our ongoing research into prohibitions…
Over 9,000 residents have been forced from their homes due to fire and structural safety concerns since the Grenfell Tower tragedy!
50 months post-Grenfell we are living on borrowed time with Building Safety. Immediate solutions to stabilise the situation are long overdue.
