Exploding the myth of Part L enforcement
"Guess what? Politicians, gurus and pundits sometimes talk rubbish. One big problem in the building control sector is the constant recycling of old news. I'm sad to say that I still see comments published in the media, given by people who I know and respect, that are based on old and out-of-date information. It's nearly always local authorities don't enforce Part L. Twaddle!"

LABC - listening to the voice of the unheard
It's a strange world. People with axes to grind find it all too easy to voice their personal opinions and see them inflated into virtual facts. In an online, multi-media world we tend to see and hear the views of the minority. Of course everyone and every pressure group have the right to express opinions, but it seems a shame that the views of the silent majority don't get more credence. This is especially true when it comes to Building Regulations, writes Paul Everall, Chief Executive, LABC''

The power of retail
Even though the retail construction sector in the UK is approaching £5 billion per annum, it has an influence that is disproportionate to its size. This is because retailers are very responsive to new ideas, changes in consumer thinking and the drive to increase operational efficiencies, writes Paul Everall, LABC Chief Executive
