Demolition News Radio #137

Against a backdrop of political and economic uncertainty, the UK construction industry continues to confound and confuse. Builders' Conference CEO Neil Edwards attempts to make sense of an industry that is seemingly rewriting the rule book.

This is the pilot episode of what we hope will evolve to become the latest series on the Demolition News Radio network. The basic premise of this show is very simple.   Take a dozen or so standard questions, and ask individuals from across the demolition spectrum to answer them as honestly and comprehensively as possible.   Over time, we are hoping this will give us all a unique insight into the industry, hence the name of the show. So, in our pilot show, we have set our dozen questions and asked Chris Charlton of CJ Charlton Group to share his insights.

In this episode, we feature an exclusive interview with Dr Terry Quarmby, former president of the Institute of Demolition Engineers and driving force/lead lecturer behind the IDE's Foundation Degree Course that is currently underway at Wolverhampton University.

 What if there came a time when demolition companies found themselves being prosecuted retrospectively and fined for their role in causing issues with the mental health of their workers?   What if those prosecutions mirrored those handed down for physical problems such as asbestos-related diseases or conditions caused by excessive hand arm vibration?  And what if those prosecutions could be effectively back-dated to cover those effected by stress or post-traumatic stress disorders today, last year or 10 or 20 years ago? Am I right to worry? Are you worried with me?

On a day upon which I find myself once again taking Citalopram tablets to help with my ongoing bout of depression, here's another quick insight into my current bout of depression. I don't normally say this but can I please urge you to listen to the very end, particularly if you know someone that you think might be struggling at present.

Has the demolition industry placed too much faith in certificates, competence cards and insurance policies?   Is the sector guilty of a creeping complacency?  And were we better (and safer) whe company management took a more "hands-on" role?

This is the second part of our exclusive interview with Howard Button and Lesley Ransome of the National Demolition Training Group.   If you didn't catch the first episode, we strongly suggest that you check that out.   Just search for Demolition News Radio on the podcast platform of your choosing.

Training Talk is a new show that is dedicated to the subject of demolition training, a sector that moves almost as fast as the industry it serves. In this launch episode, we are delighted to bring you the first part of a two-part interview with Howard Button and Lesley Ransome of the National Demolition Training Group. We sincerely hope you enjoy this launch episode and that you will check back soon for the second instalment.

The problem with talking about mental health issues is that it is generally done in retrospect; looking back at a period of intense negativity whilst wrapped in a blanket of renewed positivity.  That's like asking an alcoholic to explain their addiction after they've been sober for 20 years.  I am not sure that helps anyone. As someone that has suffered from mental health issues in the past, I know the signs.  And I promised that the next time I encountered that dreaded black dog of depression that I would write or record something while I was still in the midst of that encounter. And so here it is.   This is how I feel today.  Right now.

To have moved an industry on is itself worthy of applause. To have helped shape that industry long after you have ceased to be a part of it is surely the ultimate accolade; one that is worth way more than any upward career move or positive profit report.

February is the shortest month of the year so, traditionally, it has served up some of the lowest monthly totals on the BCLive league table. It does not enjoy the post-festive period upswing that characterises January and, this year, February serves as the beginning of the final countdown to Brexit and all the uncertainty that brings with it.  But the UK construction sector is notorious for ploughing its own furrow whilst marching to the beat of its own distinctive drum. So wouldn’t you just know that the UK construction sector would fly in the face of tradition and expectation by enjoying one of the biggest months since the BCLive league table was created?

As we pause to remember the #Didcot4 who died so tragically three years ago, let us set aside our business rivalries and our petty differences; and let us come together as a global demolition family that is united in sadness and respect.

 The annual general meeting of the UK's National Demolition Training Group took place in London on Friday last week.   But, at a time when the future of demolition training in the UK is at a crossroads, non-NFDC members were grossly under-represented.   Yet these same companies will be the first to complain if there is a hike in training costs. 

Why demolition equipment manufacturers, dealers and distributors are more than just purveyors of "dumb iron"; and why the demolition industry needs them perhaps more than it cares to admit.

   After 11 consecutive months in which the value of new construction contract awards did not once dip below the £4.0 billion mark, the £2.7 billion posted in December 2018 was a bitter disappointment filled with ominous portent.  So was this merely a seasonal glitch or was it a sign that the pre-Brexit jitters have finally taken hold? We spoke to Builders Conference CEO Neil Edwards to find out.

Why I don't want my epitaph to read "he was quite good at spelling and grammar" and why, when the day of judgement comes, business accomplishments will likely count for very little.

The digger driver that rampaged through a Travelodge hotel lobby earlier this week throws a spotlight onto the evergreen issue of non and late payments in the UK construction sector.   In fact, this one man's actions were almost inevitable in a sector in which late payment by larger contractors is worn as a badge of honour; something to be proud of.

To post or not to post, that is the question.   Yesterday, we posted a 1987 BBC documentary on DemolitionNews.com.  It provided a fascinating insight into the demolition industry some three decades ago.   But it also featured a man that has subsequently been convicted of child sex crimes.   So should we have posted it or not?   Can we rewrite history by glossing over unpalatable events?  And if we can't post this video, should we continue to feature demolition firms that have been found guilty in the injury or death of a demolition worker?

After 11 consecutive months during which the BCLive league table of new contract awards never ONCE dipped below the £4 billion monthly total, could the industry achieve a full year of unsurpassed positivity and stability?

With a Brexit-shaped storm gathering on the horizon, now is the time for the UK demolition industry to forge alliances and collaborations; to unite for the greater good of the sector.

In January this year, the BCLive league table of new construction contract awards topped the £4.0 billion mark. Nine months later, and that monthly total has not dipped below the £4.0 billion mark, heralding a period of unprecedented stability across the sector. But it couldn't make it 11 consecutive months...could it?

An object lesson in why I should practice what I preach; and how a single comment on LinkedIn might just have saved my son's life. Our thanks to Mavis Nye for inspiring this episode. Contributions to her charitable foundation can be made here: https://www.mavisnyefoundation.com/

The fact that the demolition industry now has time to focus upon relatively minor health, safety and welfare issues is a sign of just how far the sector has come.

After almost a year of almost unprecedented stability and consistency, the first signs of uncertainty might have just showed themselves. Is this the beginning of the end of the good times?

We live in an age of unprecedented transparency. And yet, the demolition industry still operates a "need to know" policy when it comes to reporting and sharing certain aspects of its business.

Clocking up a massive £6.0 billion in new contract awards during October 2018, it seems that the UK construction industry has no truck with talk of Brexit-led crises. But there is concern that the continued strength of the housing sector might ultimately prove to be to the industry's detriment.

In this Halloween special, Demolition News Radio brings you what we believe to be the world's first demolition ghost story. Our thanks to Safedem's William Sinclair for his help and inspiration in the creation of this short story.

Why the language we use should depend upon the audience; and why a stripped-down and largely pictorial Risk Assessment and Method Statement might just be all your workers need.

What would happen if you lost everything? Could you recover? Could you bounce back? Would you? Having recently (though, thankfully, temporarily) lost more than five years' worth of data, I have stared into the abyss. And this time, I managed to step back from the edge. Could you?

Why a failure to remain current and relevant could spell disaster for your demolition business. Trust me, I know!

After eight consecutive months in which the UK construction has achieved a new contracts award total of £4 billion, the BCLive league table held its breath for the outcome of the September countdown. And it wasn't disappointed. The Builders' Conference CEO Neil Edwards looks over the figures.

Demolition is an industry of borrowers. The industry appropriated explosive technology developed for the quarry industry. It adopted hydraulic excavators from the construction sector. And it embraced hydraulic attachments. So is there anything we might learn from the crane sector; anything that heavy lifting specialists might teach us; anything that we might apply to make the demolition industry safer or more efficient?

Cuddy Group accomplished so much over so many years. It carried out literally hundreds of successful demolition contracts. It employed and trained thousands of men and women; men and women that would help nourish the UK demolition gene pool for many years to come. It helped raise the standards for demolition in their native Wales and beyond. But at the final reckoning, Cuddy Group's legacy is 68 slightly dog-eared A4 pages.

In the social media age, the ability to tell consistent, memorable and engaging stories is a key consideration across all aspects of the demolition business. Don't believe me? Listen to this episode and see if you can remember the key facts afterwards.

Deliberately or otherwise, Fake News could be costing the UK demolition industry a small fortune in wasted time and wasted resources. It pays to dig a little deeper.

If clients and main contractors want their contracts to be sustainable, they should be willing to pay enough to make demolition businesses equally sustainable.

The demolition industry has made huge strides in safeguarding the physical health and well-being of its workers. But the time has come for the industry to unite and take similarly good care of their mental health too.

DemolitionNews will be introducing two new systems to allow readers, listeners and viewers to help support the content that love.

Further falls in scrap prices; scrap pirates target sunken Royal Navy ships; and ScrapsAway focuses on trust within the industry. All this and more in the second episode of ScrapChat, exclusive to Demolition News Radio.

The relationship between the Health & Safety Executive and the demolition industry should be a two-way street. But that relationship is undermined by the HSE's eagerness to enforce, and its reluctance to endorse.

Every major development in the demolition business in the last 20, 30 or 40 years has made the practice of demolition – actually getting a structure on the ground – easier, faster and safer. And yet, during that same period, actually running a demolition business has grown progressively and inexorably harder.

In this launch episode, we look at how a growing trade war between China and the US is impacting on global scrap prices; how some recent rationalisation within the UK scrap sector has fallen foul of the Competition and Markets Authority. But we start by addressing the large metal elephant in the room – The ongoing fall in scrap prices.

Long overdue, this episode is dedicated to all the under-appreciated people that have helped make Demolition News the global force that it is today; the people who have supported me personally over the years; the demolition and construction people that brighten my day.

Why we're throwing our weight behind the DemoExpo 2019 that will take place in July next year; and why we're producing a new and limited edition book to coincide with what promises to be an epic show.

With its first stand-alone contract safely completed, b-line can now officially count itself as a true demolition company.

The time has come for demolition accidents and fatalities to be discussed, denounced and condemned. Silence is complicity.

Why does the UK demolition industry continue to kowtow to a group of big-name main contractors with a proven track record for late payments and a penchant for crucifying suppliers and sub-contractors?

A period of unprecedented stability in UK construction workload shows no signs of abating. But it is vital that we do not grow complacent and that we prepare for the downturn that is sure to arrive.

The time has surely come for the demolition industry to have a dedicated charity all its own; one that can help its own in their hour of need.

A man called Samuel Landis is currently in a Miami hospital as a result of a demolition accident earlier this week. I don't know Samuel or his family. But my thoughts, and those of the global demolition brotherhood, are with him and his family and friends right now.

The inaugural British Demolition Awards was a roaring success; and it has established DemolitionNews as an industry influencer like no other.

b-line demolition, the company we are following for our Birth of a Demolition Company audio and video show, has secured its first contract.

Through various means, the UK demolition industry has lost a huge number of demolition companies in the past few years. And without some timely financial prudence, more could follow.

The purchase of a Bentley might be a sign that a demolition director is doing well. Equally, it could be an indicator that the demolition director has lost focus and that a financial crisis might just lurk on the horizon.

The demolition and construction industries are missing opportunities to make small, incremental environmental strides, purely through a lack of foresight and planning.

When the reaction to the publication of a rainbow-coloured digger is "get that gay shit off my Instagram feed", it is clear that the industry still has a long way to go till it achieves anything even approaching inclusivity.

Introducing the key protagonists os our new show: Ziad Mir, operations director at b-line; and Simon King, b-line's demolition contracts manager.

Our new show will follow the fortunes of a company called b-line as it takes its first tentative steps into the UK demolition business.

For the next year, we will be following the fortunes of a new demolition company called b-line. In this pilot episode, we lay out the intentions of the show which will also appear on our Demolition TV YouTube channel AND in the Demolition magazine.

Another £4 billion month for the BCLive league table, JCB breaking ground on a new £50 million cab factory, and the buzz around the Hillhead 2018 exhibition are all cause for optimism.

Are plant thieves using Facebook to target victims and draw up a hit-list of equipment to steal?

Despite everything I have said in recent episodes, demolition remains a great, dynamic, endlessly fascinating and - dare I say - fun industry within which to earn a living.

The nomadic lifestyle of the modern demolition worker has already had an impact upon their physical health. Could it also have an impact upon their mental health too?

If you want your demolition news sugar-coated, then you came to wrong place.

A request from the police to look at our book "A Site for Sore Eyes" was unexpected; but it provided an opportunity to look back at a book created in haste for a good cause.

Sounding a warning - From this day forward, we will name and shame the industry's late payers and those that duck their financial commitments and moral obligations.

A diagram tracking construction workload over a year generally looks like the wave patterns experienced in the North Atlantic with perilous peaks and bottomless falls. But since the beginning of 2018, that chart has looked as calm as the most serene of mill-ponds. And that continued in May as the industry delivered a BCLive league table total of £4.34 billion, the fifth consecutive month in which the sector has topped the £4 billion monthly total that is rapidly becoming the accepted and expected norm.

Amidst a spate of costly and targeted equipment and attachment thefts, surely the time has come to get tough with the plant thieves...?

A half a million pound fine for an incident in which no-one was hurt is surely disproportionate. But does it point to a Health and Safety Executive seeking to make up a financial shortfall?

The Waste Exchange app developed by industry veteran Andy Hopkins of Rye Demolition is designed to marry supply and demand in the demolition and construction waste sector.

An exclusive look at the new ScrapsAway.co.uk website that helps demolition companies find the best local outlet and the best price for their scrap metals.

With a potential financial bonanza from the decommissioning and dismantling of oil and gas platforms, there has never been a better time to pioneer and develop new equipment, new methods, and new techniques.

On 12 May 1990, my dad was best man at my wedding. Precisely 27 years and 364 days later, he was diagnosed with kidney cancer.

The challenge of making the transition from medium-sized contractor to large contractor whilst retaining that personal touch.

Despite headlines to the contrary, the UK construction sector continues to maintain a positive level of workload for the fourth consecutive month.

Why the National Federation of Demolition Contractors is to demolition what Andrew Ridgeley was to George Michael in their WHAM! days; and why I am washing my hands of the whole sorry business.

The UK demolition industry is dynamic, fast-paced and constantly developing. The recruitment and training systems serving the industry - sadly - are not.

The National Federation of Demolition Contractors has less members than it had a decade ago, and yet it employs five times as many people and operates from about 20 times as much office space. How does that work?

Why a last minute Dark Horse entrant might just put an end to the dark times at the NFDC.

If the demolition industry is to truly learn, it is VITAL that mistakes are aired and that accidents are discussed.

Why the National Federation of Demolition Contractors should choose its interim president wisely AND geographically.

Are houses rendered "evil" by atrocities that take place within and - if so - is demolition the answer?

The birth of a demolition company. We follow a fledgling company as it takes its first tentative steps on the demolition ladder. We will follow them as they recruit and train staff; as they purchase equipment; and as they win their first demolition projects. And we plan to follow them throughout their first year in this rough, tough but ultimately rewarding business. So check back soon for the first episode of: Birth of a demolition company, exclusive to Demolition News Radio.

President of the National Federation of Demolition Contractors - Paul Brown - has been forced to resign in what must surely rank as the saddest and most wretched day in the Federation's history.

The story of how I came to be in hot pursuit of a stolen vehicle alongside a former murder squad detective.

A mammoth framework project for the residential arm of Wates Group could mean a windfall for demolition contractors in the south of England. This episode is sponsored by The Builders' Conference and the BCLive league table.

In our 100th episode, we look at three quarters of the UK's demolition contractors are abiding by the training rules and regulations laid down by the other quarter; and how they're paying handsomely to do so. If you are a non-NFDC company that uses the NDTG's training services, we strongly recommend that you give this a listen.

Claude Brown was always going to be a tough act to follow. But despite numerous attempts to oust him as NFDC president, Claude's son Paul Brown has stood strong...much as his father would have done.

How YOU can use OUR global reach

On Friday this week, I will be attending my first NFDC event for six years; and this is why.

We are delighted to announce the launch of DemolitionKit.com, a dedicated news resource for the demolition equipment sector.

My take on yesterday's Extraordinary General Meeting of the National Federation of Demolition Contractors, the temporary ceasefire it triggered, and the misplaced priorities of some of those involved.

Why I no longer wish to be associated with a book I researched, wrote and published some seven years ago.

A non-demolition tale of how I unwittingly became part of the porn industry....for almost four years.

Just days after Erith Group confirmed that it had won more work in a single month than construction behemoths Sir Robert McAlpine and Laing O'Rourke, we look at the dawning of a new era of super-sized demolition companies.

Where have the great men of the demolition industry gone? If the UK demolition industry had a House of Lords, who would get to wear the ermine?

With the UK's National Federation of Demolition Contractors scheduled to meet soon for an extraordinary general meeting that MIGHT decide the fate of the incumbent Federation president, Demolition News Radio acts as soothsayer.

Charting the highs and lows of UK construction and demolition demand over the past month.

On Friday last week, I returned to the Didcot A Power Station, the scene of an accident that killed four demolition men on 23 February 2016. I went primarily to pay my respects to those four men who were taken from the families and friends on that fateful day. I went also to be a part of a BBC Radio show that looked back on the events that unfolded on that terrible day, and the events that have unfolded since.
