Law of Land & Property - Part 2 - Fixture or Chattel? - The definition of a fixture is sometimes subject to heated debate, however in general terms the law considers a fixture as something that is permanently fixed to the property/land and therefore is deemed to form part of it.

Modern Methods of Construction - Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) - The benefits of using MMC’s are well documented and include improved quality, speed of delivery, less waste, reduced risk to health & Safety, minimises disruption etc. These will vary depending on the method used in addition to the size and nature of the project. Just like using traditional methods of construction the benefits of MMC will only be realised if the project is planned and implemented (and managed) efficiently.

1940’s Prefab Houses – Simple but effective! - Despite a desperate need for housing it is interesting that a planned, strategic approach was taken to the design and functionality of prefabricated housing in the 1940’s

Statutory Approvals - Why ignorance is no excuse for non-compliance - By their very nature Statutory Approvals are mandatory, they are not a choice. This is something worth thinking about if you are thinking about buildings works now or in the future

The Romans - Part 2 - The Original Master Builders - I just wonder if the modern buildings that we are currently constructing will leave a similar legacy to that of the Romans. If we can make the same positive impact that the Romans made to the built environment then we will leave behind a similar positive lasting legacy for our future generations

The Romans - The Original Master Builders - Part 1 - There was nothing random about the location of Roman villages and towns. Even before construction would commence the Romans would carefully select where towns and villages would be sited. These were carefully planned to make optimum use of natural resources such as food, water, timber, stone etc. in a particular location

Energy Efficiency - Why measuring ‘performance in use’ is the key to energy efficiency in buildings - With approximately 80% of the properties that exist today still being in existence in 2050, the key issue for landlords in the run-up to the 2018 change is that they understand the scale, nature and cost of the various interventions that will be needed to update properties now

Subsidence – Part 2 – Factors that contribute to subsidence and what to look for - As with tree roots, a drainage system is buried therefore not obviously visible at the time of an inspection. It always amazes me how people tend to ignore the condition of the below ground drainage system when purchasing property and do not seem to see this as important
