So which Councils did not make it for the initial deadline? I have projects in several where the highest Class of registration is CLASS 1. Ashford, Dover, Ealing, Maidstone, Merton, RBKC, ... others have 1 person in a higher class but rarely for a higher-risk building. How is your local council doing? Will they make it for the extension? From my perspective, they are either silent or hoping for the best from the email exchanges I had with them. What is your perspective? #construction #buildingcontrol #buildingsafetyact

St William gets go-ahead for 245-home Stratford scheme. A section 106 legal agreement has been finalised for the 2.2-acre brownfield site, which will be transformed into a 245 home mixed-tenure neighbourhood close to West Ham and Stratford Stations.

Three major construction projects worth around £35 million combined have been visited by North Ayrshire Council Leader Marie Burns. Councillor Burns recently spent time at the three sites to get a progress update and meet the council staff, partners and contractors involved. Around £4.6million was spent by the council to create a new precast concrete seawall - delivered by contractors RJ McLeod (Contractors) Limited -  in front of the existing seawall structure in Largs. And two new recently-opened schools, which cost around £30 million in total - Montgomerie Park Primary School with Robertson Group in Irvine and Moorpark Primary School in the Garnock Valley – are now busy education hubs where children and staff have settled in nicely.

It was a privilege to hear Andrew Konopelny of MLT Aikins (Winnipeg) share valuable insights on how Prompt Payment and Adjudication will shape the Manitoba construction industry in 2025. His expertise shed light on the opportunities and challenges ahead for our industry. My prompt payment education started back in Saskatchewan in 2022 with Josh Morrison of MLT Aikins (Regina). Josh provided expert guidance related to similar processes being implemented in Saskatchewan. It seems that MLT Aikins is always ahead of the curve! One of the great pleasures of being exposed to industries in different provinces is learning the subtle differences that exist across geographic boundaries and adjusting project processes accordingly. These seminars and discussions are crucial to stay ahead of industry changes and foster strong teams that deliver successful projects! #ConstructionIndustry #PromptPayment #Adjudication #IndustryInsights #ProfessionalGrowth

Great opportunities

The recent updates to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) are poised to significantly boost construction efforts across the UK.🏗️ However, the success of these developments hinges on effective community consultation. Engaging local communities early and transparently ensures that projects not only meet regulatory standards but also gain public support, leading to smoother implementation and sustainable outcomes. At Comm Comm UK, we are dedicated to collaborating with our colleagues in the planning industry to facilitate these crucial communications. By fostering open dialogues and addressing community concerns, we aim to support the new construction initiatives envisioned by the NPPF. Together, we can build a future that reflects the needs and aspirations of all stakeholders involved. https://lnkd.in/eBP5BJDF
