The building will be made to a specification , if the contractor used the specified materials then he isn't at fault. That would put the fault with the architect and design team.
If the contractor used unspecified materials which didn't meet British Standard then not only is he to blame , but the building inspectors and control team who are paid to make sure the construction is up to specification before passing it as a habitable dwelling/dwellings are also at fault.
Not entirely sure how Government funded and supported housing programs work there but many places here are notorious for bad conditions and health-code violations. Until recently a couple locally were accidents waiting with limited entry- exit and half the emergency fixtures busted.
The list mate is mind blowing. It is a damning indictment of what happens when money becomes the bottom line and people's safety, care and well being is deemed irrelevant. Literally years of warning from the residents themselves, No proper safety procedures, Gas pipes all up the stairwells, no sprinklers, clad in highly inflammable material, fire exits blocked, access for fire trucks restricted by adjacent building, huge cuts to the fire service, etc, etc
Warning form the residents themselves in 2013 - https://grenfellactiongroup.wordpres...ing-with-fire/
here at the foot of the article are another 9 warnings from residents 9 years ago - http://www.globalresearch.ca/britain...s-like/5595084
Heads should Roll, from the top down.
Here is an example from the former Tory Mayor of London dismissing legitimate concerns about public service cuts to the fire service. Typical of the current Governments attitude (he is a current secretary of state and former wananbe PM)
I donated some money into a ladys bucket at Paddington station today which is just down the road, she said it was dodgy gas that might have somehow started it off but the cladding used is pure criminal.
If they would have spend just £2 more they would have bought the fire resistant cladding instead of the cheaper flammable stuff they used.
People are still sleeping in their cars over a week on and some were given £10 a night to "help them out in the short term"? WTF
It's fucking unbelievable whats happened to these people.
