This panel discussion, facilitated by Scott Humphris from Midfix, explored the evolving and urgent topic of competency in construction, especially in the wake of the Grenfell tragedy. Experts from across the sector discussed legal, cultural and practical changes needed, emphasising that true competency goes beyond compliance to include behaviours, leadership and accountability. Key points included the need for better procurement practices, clearer roles and stronger evidence of competence through training, QA and innovations. While progress has been made, the panel agreed that more consistent leadership, communication and industry-wide collaboration are crucial for lasting change.
