    A few corrections …

    2007-07-06T00:00:00Z

    As reported in Hansom, (22 June, page 29) I can confirm that I have recently resigned from the position of deputy chairman of the Construction Industry Council’s sustainable development committee. However, most other aspects of your short report are misleading.

    Your article suggesting that the launch of international health and safety assessment will “encourage unqualified workers to come to the UK” is misleading (15 June, page 15). The new international assessment, based on the success and high standards of the UK ConstructionSkills Health and Safety Test, is aimed at qualified ...

    A helping hand

    2007-06-29T00:00:00Z

    Your article “Does the industry still need Women in Property?” (8 June, page 54) fails to address the fact that in construction, barriers still exist for those who don’t fit the mould.

    I felt your article on recruitment, referred to in the leader as the “dog-eat-dog world of the headhunter”, was imbalanced and it was interesting that you only approached one source for a response – Hays, which is not a headhunter but a recruitment agency.

    Get the best out of them

    2007-06-29T00:00:00Z

    While I find it unhelpful to lay the blame solely at the door of the headhunters (what did the industry do in the nineties to attract school leavers?), I would like to point out some fundamental truths of the industry:

    It was hardly a great surprise to hear that the design for the Olympic park was being “pared down” (25 May, page 9). In fact, it was predicted by those who were sceptical of the project from day one.

    Rogue testing

    2007-06-15T00:00:00Z

    The industry is going through a huge change in respect of envelope testing, with thermal imaging as the new kid on the block. I wish to warn your readers not to be too enthusiastic in using its practitioners.
