With a focus on the current, real-world issues across the built environment, the stories behind the headlines, the shifts worth your time, and the ideas to get you thinking. No froth, all coffee. Each episode follows a clear 3, 2, 1 structure: 3 headlines. Covering the most relevant and interesting topics from the world of construction. 2 opinions. Straight-talking analysis and debrief that digs deep beyond each headline. Why it matters and what it means for the future. 1 takeaway. Sometimes practical, sometimes actionable, or perhaps something to make you think. Hosted by Peter Sumpton and Ryan Jones, who bring a combined 40 years in construction and marketing, Construction Disrupted is designed for thought-leaders and decision-makers who prefer podcasts with more substance and less spin. We know the backdrop, fragmented supply chains, rising costs, skills gaps and sustainability pressures, and we won’t rehash doom for the sake of it.

Check them out and show them some love. In this episode, we discuss new guidance for competency management, the financial case for transparency in infrastructure, and the ambitious restoration of Blenheim Palace. Let's go! Built environment competency guidance nears publication The Industry Task and Finish Group (ITFG) is set to release new guidance on managing competence in the built environment. This guidance aims to help organizations plan, monitor, and evidence competence, putting the Industry Competence Committee’s 15 principles into practice. Formed under the Building Safety Act 2022, the ICC focuses on improving competence, especially for higher-risk buildings. The guidance, developed collaboratively with over 40 professional bodies, reframes competency as both an individual and organizational responsibility, emphasizing leadership, governance, supervision, procurement, and ongoing development. It’s scalable for small and medium-sized organizations, supporting proportionate arrangements and building safety reforms post-Grenfell. Here's a link to the PDF Space for the ITFG's: Managing Competence in the Built Environment: An industry guide on how to meet the ICC principles Transparency in infrastructure needs a business case and this is how to make it Globally, governments lose a significant portion of infrastructure spending to inefficiency and corruption—up to one-third, according to the IMF.
