This episode features a stellar line-up of industry speakers including, Richard Smith (NHBC), Dr. Jim Glockling (FPA / RISCAuthority), John Duffin (Keyfix), Andy Sharlott (IG Masonry Support), and Jamie Davies (Part B).
This episode discusses:

- How have specification had to change as a result of the move to non-combustible materials?
- How do we ensure quality and competence on site?
- How have products evolved to meet this new requirement?
Over the past few years, questions have been raised about the risk of fires in tall buildings.

This change to Approved Document 7 came into force on 21 December 2018. So what impact has this change had on how we design and construct tall buildings?
