## Resource

Ash Mahoney looks into the challenges facing so many Bricklayers on site currently. From being snagged senseless, issues around storage of materials, issues with the NHBC and also some of the inconsistent quality that’s no doubt coming from many of these issues. John Cooper - well known on socials as - New Build Quality Control - talks about the quality he’s seen and what he thinks some of the problems are with the approach to house building and site work. Charlie Collison is frustrated about a lot of this and explains why and what needs to be done to sort it out!
