Beyond the Headlines: The Impact of Value Engineering on the Grenfell Disaster. (EP 110)
Show Notes

This week, Paul is joined by Samantha Mepham, Partner - National Head of Health and Safety Services at Rider Levett Bucknall, a global Quantity Surveying and Construction consultancy.

In this thought-provoking and informative episode, Samantha first explains how the Building Safety Act will impact contractors and what they should do to adapt to the legislation.

Beyond this, the conversation turns to the Grenfell disaster and how value engineering played a big part in the tragedy. From this, we talk about what Quantity Surveyors and procurement professionals should learn from this in the context of value engineering.

A truly valuable listen for construction professionals at contractors.
