The dark art of structural protection

Structural fire protection is something of a mystery at many drawing boards. One of those things discussed in hushed tones, at the eleventh hour.

02/10/2025

The challenges with encasements

If you ask ten specifiers how they’re protecting their steelwork this month, you’ll get twelve answers.

24/09/2025

XS design assumptions

There is a certain type of person who will tell you that they can judge a steak’s done-ness by pressing it with a finger. They’ll jab at it like it owes them money, declare it not ready yet and go back to watching the football.

A right royal timeline

Carefully chronicled by the Court Historians of Siniat, with due reverence.

17/07/2025

This is what taking design responsibility looks like

If something is left, buried under weight and pressure, for long enough, it becomes the subject of a unique, geological phenomenon. This is how fossils are made. Organic structures are petrified – locked into shape by time and the absence of air.

Design responsibility

An announcement from Siniat

You may’ve seen our crowns. Our op-eds. We certainly hope you’ve heard us shouting from the rooftops about our plant expansion.

16/05/2025

So long, and thanks for all the tariffs

This is not yet another story about tariffs. Not really. It’s a story about ripples. About tremors. Because what might appear a small tremor in one place, may become a landslide in another.

29/04/2025

True role of competency

Passive fire protection is more than a construction material. It’s about the expertise, the design, the construction. It’s about competency.

22/04/2025

Construction in motion

Let’s not sugar-coat it: headlines are that the first quarter of 2025 has been pretty doom and gloom. It’s not set the world alight.

27/03/2025

Buds of growth: contemplations on the Spring budget

Growth is coming. That’s the manifesto of today’s spring statement, the first major financial update of the year, delivered by Chancellor Rachel Reeves.

Ambition alone is not enough - tackling the skills shortage

Bright sun breaks the dawn on Spring Statement week. It’s joined by an announcement. Headlines for the construction industry to sink its teeth into. £

26/02/2025

The construction skills shortage is a call for transformation

Construction stands at a crossroads. Completion of projects are at risk from a range of threats: , grappling with a growing skills shortage that threatens not just the completion of projects, but the very fabric of its future.

And now, a word on 2025

Every year since two-thousand-and-..something, it’s been a tradition for dictionary makers to nominate a word of the year.

All I Want for Christmas Is... Plasterboard?

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, so says Andy Williams. Here in Bristol, we’re brimming with festive cheer. Think joy, think mince pies, think questionable Christmas jumpers.

19/12/2024

Construction wrapped: 2024, in music

It’s been Hard Times for construction. At times, it’s felt like there Ain’t No Sunshine. But we could be yet to see Glory Days – there may be hopeful chorus ahead.

12/12/2024

Building momentum: planning reforms and the road ahead

Planning reforms have landed with a big splash. The focus of the recent announcement sits squarely on accelerating the planning process to meet ambitious housing targets.

12/12/2024

What the planning reforms mean for construction, in real terms

Faster decisions, a more streamlined approval process, and increased access to land have all been promised in the Government’s new planning reforms.

17/10/2024

What is the golden thread in construction?

Change has come to the built environment. Major change in safety. In construction standards. In performance of both the building itself and the materials it is made of.

08/10/2024

What is recycled content?

Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword—it's a critical consideration in modern construction.
