-----------------------------------

In this episode of Own the Build, Paul is joined by James Filus, Director at both the National Association of Shopfitters (NAS) and the Institute of Carpenters (IOC), to unpack what competence really means in the context of construction today.

James shares the view from the front line of trade associations helping their members navigate the aftermath of Grenfell, the implications of the Building Safety Act, and the critical role of competency frameworks for subcontractors and individuals alike.

Together, they explore:

  • What has changed legally – and culturally – post-Grenfell
  • The hidden cost of proving competence across your supply chain
  • How subcontractors can prepare to prove they’re competent (even without a formal definition)
  • The commercial burden on QSs and buyers who now must assess more than just price and programme
  • How to balance experience, qualification, and behavioural competence in procurement decisions

If you’ve ever asked, “What’s my responsibility here?” — this episode gives clarity, structure, and a forward-looking approach to Building Safety Act compliance.
