Real Construction Voice Construction - I talk about people, mistakes, pressure and responsibility.

07/09/2026

Roughly half the people who leave our industry go in their first two years. Not because of pay. Not because of hours.

Because nobody made them feel like they belonged there.

That is a management problem, not a generational one.

Billions of taxpayers’ money going into projects. And no plan for who builds them.

The hardest workers in Europe have a choice now. Better money, no visa, closer to home. Britain is losing that competition every single day.

One minute on the problem nobody in Westminster is talking about.

No day rate. No shade. No legal limit. Just our people, out in the heat, breathing dust and cement so the job gets done.

Spain stops. Greece stops. Italy stops. Britain still has nothing.

Thank you to Peter Prinsley MP and Alex Mayer for asking the hard questions in parliament, and to the Climate Change Committee for calling for a national maximum temperature. Andy Burnham , Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government needs to hear this too.

Our people cannot wait. It is time to talk about heat on our sites, honestly.

The Government has also said it will consult further before deciding on implementation. That is the sentence to watch. That is where good law goes quiet and comes back watered down.

And we now have a new Prime Minister, a new Business Secretary and a rebuilt department. Bills lose their place in the queue in exactly these moments.

Andy Burnham Rt. Hon. Jonathan Reynolds MP • this Bill was not your idea, but it is now your decision. It does not need another consultation. It needs a date.

Every week this sits in committee, more good firms close holding money that was never even in dispute.

Has retention cost your business real money? Put the number in the comments. Not the story, the number. Let them see the total.

From one site to skylines across London.

Part 7. Proud of every single person behind this. 💪🏻

Once you’ve got people you trust standing next to you, the next job is growing without losing that. That’s been our real challenge these past years.

This one means a lot to me.

I came to England for one week.

My ticket back to Norway stayed in my pocket.

I never used it.

Part 4 is live. Press play.

Everyone sees where you end up. Few people ask how you got there.

Here is a bit more of how. Part 3 below.

Two guys walked onto a construction site and changed how I see our industry.

Riley & Gerone

No experience. Just hunger to learn and a willingness to show up.

And that is all we ever asked for.

Construction does not have a talent problem. It has a perception problem. Young people scroll past this industry every single day without ever knowing what it can give them. A real skill. A real career. A real future built with their own hands.

We are not waiting for that to change on its own.

At GA Interiors(Drylining)Ltd we put these guys on live sites from day one. Real projects. Real responsibility. Real mentorship. Through our partnership with Vistry Group we are giving our apprentices the kind of exposure that actually shapes a career. Nobody watching from the sidelines. In the thick of it from the start..

Riley moves around site like he has been doing this for years. Gerone is not far behind.

This is what happens when you actually believe in someone before they believe in themselves.

If you are young and you think construction is not for you, come and talk to us. Because Riley and Gerone thought the same thing once.

Look at them now.
