Emeritus Prof Christopher May

As international architects & civil engineers become conversant with details of the UK's , a clear consensus is emerging:
its a particularly UK crisis.

RAAC & its associated building components have been in wide use across the world, predating widened UK usage in the 60s/70s... but other countries seem to have better regulations on use, better installation & better maintenance.

The general conclusion is its the UK's cost-cutting & miss-use of RAAC that is to blame.

Who'd have thought!
