It is basically impossible to have watched the Grenfell Tower Inquiry and not feel that the construction industry is rotten from top to bottom: architects, contractors, product manufacturers, certifiers. The entire industry has come across as venal, careless and negligent.

I base this on not just the acts but the way they were treated by most of those involved as normal behaviour. An industry desperately in need of tough, independent regulation and an entirely new culture. Grenfell was the inevitable consequence of years of bad practice.

I'd add as well, the groups who have been talked about this week - LABC, NHBC, BRE - are unheard of to most people but are major industry bodies in the sector. These are groups with real influence. All had roles to play in the post Grenfell Hackitt review

I'd add finally, there are plainly individuals and companies out there who act honestly, do things the right way and take pride in it. I know a few. But I think they all know they are operating in a sector that has major problems and feel that pressure. I imagine it's hard.
