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....

OMG! It's been way too long! But, we are back and to kick of 2024 we have the second part of our interview with Tony Grindrod (Vinci). We also take a pop at why it costs so much to try to be compliant in the construction industry! Happy listening

HAALO never pull punches in our topical assessment of the challenges facing the industry. Today we introduce you to Project Lead extraordinaire - Tony Grindrod - for Part One of a two part exclusive interview and pose the question to him as to what makes a successful project delivery team. It's not rocket science...it's plain common sense...so why aren't all projects run this way!

This could be an award winning show!
We tackle the topics that no other podcast would, could or should! We aren't scared!
Today we look at the new draft secondary legislation to the Building Safety Act - and there is a lot to get through there. We reinforce our view on who the Principal Accountable Person is - yes - it is a "person". We also jump on the 'Escalator' and wonder where this modern marvel came from....you'd be surprised

Today we try to make 'sprinkler systems' sexy...there is controversy, history, bomb-making, cookery and lots and lots of water. Hey, we could even give you the 'Mona Lisa" to add to the plot.......listen and see!
Most of all 'Slav Ukraini. Heroyam Slava'

In this episode we explain what's the difference between a 'Bit' and a "Byte", why Peter has been waiting 7 years to watch 'The Lord of the Rings' Trilogy and poses a question about the architecture at 2 Marsham Street, London.....bloody exciting stuff! Contact us at Team@HAALO.co.uk

Unafraid to tell it how we see it....HAALO asks the fundamental question "Who is the Accountable Person?" Could it really be the mild-mannered Janitor?

In this episode we take a caustic look at the "Fifth Facade". Wondering how the industry can spend £billions remediating combustible materials across the facades of high rise residential buildings and ignore what is on the roof? Total lunacy in our view.
We also look at who is hot and who is not in the Construction News Top 100 Construction Contractors 2022, and who is forking out big bucks to clean up their shoddy developments.....all this and more....ENJOY and BE SAFE!

S1 Ep4: "Crazy from the Heat!" - the HAALO team take a look at 'overheating' in residential buildings and how some poorly conceived designs give parents the stark choice between increasing the risk of children falling from height or overheating. Additionally we take a look at CIBSE's TM59 Overheating Assessment methodologies and the 2021 introduction of Approved Document O: Overheating.
All hot stuff!

S1 Ep1: In this episode of HAALO: Construction & Real Assets Industry Insights, we discuss why gas safety installations are so important. What could go wrong if those installations are not correctly fitted. A real life example of discovering a dangerous installation in a domestic residence. What UK regulations apply to gas installations. Who should be checking the safety of such installations and whether they actually can be bothered about the quality and compliance of those installations. We almost name and shame a UK housebuilder whose gas installations give us cause for concern.
All of that in just under 5 minutes....that's go to be worth a listen
S1 Ep3: Aside from the dodgy 'Hank Williams' title, we take a look at the firery topic of how developers often game the system by exploiting lack of official guidance on how far a kitchen hob should be from the escape route in an open plan apartment. The worse 'game' we have ever assessed was when one developer actually placed the cooker on the escape route and then tried to justify that the fire would be at hip height so people could crawl by the burning cooker. Not so great if you are trying to wade through burning oil, or how about if you are in a wheelchair.....

S1 Ep2: Boldly tackling head-on controversial topics in the construction and real estate industries, HAALO takes on the topic that is polarising our sector. Did you know England & North Korea are aligned in their Government views on this matter - how bizarre is that! Could this become an award-winning show? We'll let you decide.
