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 our latest announcement "Get Construction Talking" - a mental health initiative from The B1M and 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 & 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.
