The Tallest SKYSCRAPERS Under Constructi...

The B1M
About this episode

This week we’re talking SKYSCRAPERS! Despite the pandemic, despite a global shortage of labour and materials – it seems like nothing can stop the skyscraper.


Later in the episode, we talk about "Get Construction Talking" - a new mental health initiative founded by The B1M and supported by Procore. Also, we look at a luxury residential tower on the site of Miami's former Champlain Towers South condo that collapsed in June 2021 (Zaha Hadid Architects and DAMAC).


We end the show with an email from Peter Riddell and an Apple Podcasts review from "kevin109104"


Lastly, we apologise for Luke's dodgy audio quality this week. This was due to a technical fault on our side.
