    Earn your spurs

    As a Spurs supporter and frequent attender at White Hart Lane, I strongly welcome the confirmation of the development plans for a new stadium. However, a critical issue will be accessibility to the new ground.

    Energy challenges

    2008-11-14T00:00:00Z

    The shortage of assessors caused by the dearth of green projects (24 October, page 50) could be the least of our worries in the looming skills crisis.

    Asking the impossible

    I read with some interest your article (17 October, page 24) on making owners improve property before letting it out or selling it.

    Monkeying around

    2008-11-14T00:00:00Z

    The OFT has found some recruitment companies guilty of price fixing. Why is it that nothing surprises me any more?

    Lebanese labour

    2008-11-07T00:00:00Z

    The first time I picked up ڶ magazine in Dubai, I was extremely impressed … until I came across this comment (ڶ Gulf supplement, October, page 32): “Unless you employ cheaper labourers from India, Asia and the Lebanon, you won’t be competitive in the marketplace.”

    Dreaming of a warm Christmas

    2008-11-07T00:00:00Z

    Well, it’s a freezing morning here at Wolseley head office and Rob “look at the size of my bonus” Marchbank has just held a business review meeting for the benefit of the staff left here (we lost 73 last month).

    Electricity vs biomass

    2008-11-07T00:00:00Z

    Why is electricity given such a negative loading in the Code for Sustainable Homes?

    Action!

    2008-11-07T00:00:00Z

    Firms large and small are feeling the crunch right now, particularly since the unprecedented slump in the housing sector and the events in the financial world.

    Way off target

    2008-10-31T00:00:00Z

    The generally perceived view is that targets in policing and the health sector are counterproductive.

    Not working out

    I just read your article about Bouygues UK carrying out warm-up exercises on their sites (17 October, page 54).

    Forward planning

    2008-10-31T00:00:00Z

    Mike Davies is incorrect to say that the Royal Town Planning Institute has “inevitably created an academic closed shop that has contributed to the shortage of qualified planners” (17 October, page 32).

    Safety first

    2008-10-31T00:00:00Z

    The recent blaze in the Channel Tunnel was a worrying echo of the fire in 1996.

    I assume Hal-Luke Savas’ letter (17 October, page 32) was in some way meant to be ironic.

    A very cross industry approach

    2008-10-31T00:00:00Z

    Having read your ConstructionSkills article (17 October, page 38), I would totally support the views of Mark Farrar.

    Painting a bleak picture

    2008-10-24T00:00:00Z

    The HSE recently found that a high number of professional home refurbishment projects in London were unsafe. But this hides a big problem: exposure to lead dust and fumes arising from something as simple as redecorating your own living room (if you live in a pre-1960s home).

    Raising the bar

    It is no surprise to see that a scheme masterminded by Countryside Properties under the chairmanship of Alan Cherry has won the Stirling prize.

    All they survey

    2008-10-24T00:00:00Z

    I worked for many years in the engineering insurance industry as an engineer surveyor carrying out statutory inspections of lifting equipment.
