HAALO: Construction and Real Assets industry insights
'Shake Your Foundations!'

Once again the HAALO team chat about the "hard" topics others won't, including:


  • What does Labour's cabinet reshuffle mean for the construction industry?
  • Is the demolition of Grenfell Tower too soon?
  • HS2 - fast-tracking to being 100% over budget and no sign of when the first train will leave!
  • Housing - the shunt line to complete disaster with the new fat controller in charge!
  • Budget - will Rachel kill England!
  • Small companies - borrow money from the Government to pay your tax - the complete lunacy of Labour!
  • The problem with concrete - lowest sales of cement since WW2


ENJOY!!!

HAALO: Construction and Real Assets industry insights
'For Whom The Bell Tolls'

Whether your flavour is 'John Donne', 'Ernest Hemingway' or 'Metallica' we explore the interconnectedness of all things Building Safety.


Can we hear the 'death rattle' of the current Building Safety Regulator? Is Dame Judith wielding an axe over their neck? Have they misfired too many times? As more investors pull out of building tall residential accommodation how can Angela Rayner ever hope to hit her housing targets? What ever happened to the "waves" approach to Building Safety Case Reports? How many Building Assessment Certificates been issued? Is UKREiiF just a talking shop for tree huggers and eco-consultants?


Once again those happy peeps at HAALO dare to tell it how they see it! Enjoy!

'The Boulevard of Broken Dreams'

Hello 2025......Once again the HAALO team delve in to the areas of the industry news and gossip that others wish we left alone, including:


  • How did we get to Gateway 3 before we'd passed Gateway 2?
  • 'Don't change anything....hold on, let's change it all again....HS2 style.
  • Is civil engineering sexy?
  • Moaning Myrtle wants help to understand whether she should read the new document or the one stamped "WITHDRAWN".
  • In the words of Donald J. Trump..."Use your common sense!"
  • When safety is compromised by blatant fraud and the authorities couldn't care less?"


ENJOY!!!

"Calling all Skeletons!"

On at HAALO do you get professionals willing to question the unquestionable


Can we ever hit the housing target? What does the NHBC think?


Are we trapped in an endless downward spiral of an ageing construction workforce? Are we all doomed?


Have we just got a new "Building Safety Minister"? Did we mislay the previous Minister? Are we back to playing revolving doors in Government....but only after lunch?


Is the much vaunted BS 9991 ever going to be published? How much will it cost us all? - "what a nice little earner Rodders!"

"Popular Monster"

Brace yourselves for another podcast from the HAALO team.


We take a look at how Housing policies only seem to benefit the large monopoly builders? Do you need a Lawyer to understand the Law - well not according to the Government? Naughty Developers who won't remediate unsafe buildings will feel the full weight of the Law - but don't worry you won't need a Lawyer? and when is a "Principal Designer" not a "Principal Designer - be very wary of "snake oil salespeople"?


Enjoy....we like digging into the dirt! Be a "Popular Monster"......if you know, you know!

"Love in an Elevator"

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

This could be an award winning show!


We tackle the topics that no other podcast would, could or should!

Most of all 'Slav Ukraini. Heroyam Slava'

"Heaven's on Fire!"

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!

All hot stuff!
