London Tower Block Inferno

That may have protected the directors money, it won't protect them from Jail. For that is where I expect a few people are going...

They are claiming they complied with H&S,building compliance and fire safety etc.

Though if they don't publish the report like with the other tower block fire we will never know...

~10mil for refurbishment / 120 flats, thats 80k+ per flat for refurbishment, it would have been cheaper to just rebuild the whole thing, giving the fact that the average construction cost for flats is about 40k

Where does that figure come from?

Probably works in insurance.

The most expensive thing when building a house or flat is the land.

Where does that figure come from?

A friend who works in construction, we are talking about the cost for architect, material and labor, the majority of the final cost is the land and profit

The most expensive thing when building a house or flat is the planning permission.

Apparently the floor to floor fire protection (or whatever it's called) was removed during the refit.
