The Government’s White Paper on Construction Product Reform published earlier this year by Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) sets out far reaching reforms and changes planned for the construction products sector, including offsite, following the Grenfell Tower Fire Inquiry.
Delivered in partnership with the Structural Timber Association, this webinar is aimed at:
- Construction product manufacturers
- Offsite manufacturers
- All those involved in specifying construction products
Speaker Rupert Scott will aim to cut to the chase and explain what are the big issues, what is proposed, what is still up for discussion and what good looks like.
This webinar comprises one module that sits at the beginning of a new 3-day course Rupert has written aimed at taking construction product manufacturers back to the drawing board and explaining what product design and management should look like in the light of the Grenfell Tower Fire Inquiry recommendations and soon to be launched regulations.
