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. Instead, we move past the headlines and delve into the topics that are shaping the industry today, tomorrow, and…","last_synced_at":"2026-06-10T16:17:54.414364+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/construction-disrupted-6586696"},"episode":{"title":"UK Construction 2.0 | Episode 113","slug":"uk-construction-2-0-episode-113","published_at":"2026-04-29T06:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/construction-disrupted-6586696/uk-construction-2-0-episode-113","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/construction-disrupted-6586696","url":"https://www.builddifferent.marketing/","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/14a8801b-b1bb-4b65-ac42-8c69731a6cd0.mp3","summary":"Construction Disrupted Episode 113 - UK Construction 2.0 (29.04.26) in partnership with Adobe Acrobat Studio . Check them out and show them some love. In this episode, we dive into the evolving standards for affordable housing design, the government's investment in technical skills for high-growth industries, and CITB's Industry Impact Fund that we're struggling to work out why we haven't heard about it before! Let's go. As mentioned in the episode: CITB Industry Impact Fund (IIF) SLG Horizon Report 2026 NOW, let's go! Good Homes for All 2.0: ‘The context has shifted materially since the first edition’ The second edition of \"Good Homes for All\" responds to a dramatically changed environment for affordable housing. Rising construction costs, tighter viability, and deepening housing emergencies have made design quality more crucial than ever. Architects Luke Tozer and Jay Morton emphasize that design is not a luxury but a necessity for resolving competing pressures—such as density, viability, and efficient land use. The publication showcases 15 built schemes, demonstrating how thoughtful design can unlock delivery, create enduring places, and support communities for generations. It targets policymakers, developers, and treasury teams, aiming to shift perceptions so that design is seen as a tool for delivery, not a constraint. The overarching message: prioritizing design quality is essential for aligning scarce resources with urgent needs, and architects must be involved early to ensure long-term value and public health benefits. New Technical Excellence Colleges focus on fastest-growing industries The UK government is investing £175 million in 19 new Technical Excellence Colleges (TECs) to train 65,000 learners for high-demand jobs in sectors like advanced manufacturing,…","meta_description":"Construction Disrupted Episode 113 - UK Construction 2.0 (29.04.26) in partnership with Adobe Acrobat Studio .
