A comment on The Grenfell Tower inquiry is uncovering a major corporate scandal. Parent comment
Companies were allowed to change fire tests to make their products look better. I honestly can't see how on earth this is was allowed.
It was always my understanding that you had to submit your product to a third party for testing, and that third party was vetted.
Then there is the low grade corruption endemic in construction in the UK.
The fact that large councils have Quantity surveyors on a percentage fee, rather than a fixed fee, is a big problem.
