I can't believe the words I am typing: Mega Builds has just become an instant Sunday Times bestseller!! 🎉 I set out to get the world to better appreciate and understand construction. It's a been a heck of a journey – but to see the book I wrote about the industry I love become one of the top-selling books in the country is incredibly humbling. Thank you so much to everyone who has bought a copy, shared the book and supported me and @TheB1M team over the years. This would not have happened without you 🙏 Huge thanks also to @PenguinUKBooks, @EburyPublishing and @thetimes. You can grab a copy of Mega Builds here 👉 bit.ly/3Y63G6X

Hiring out London's entire E1 nightclub again to cook up an absolute banger. Love filming here. Video dropping this Christmas on @TheB1M ✊

What an epic week in Orlando! It was an honour to take the mainstage at @procoretech's Groundbreak 2026 – thanks for having me guys 🙌

WE DID IT!!! @GetConstTalking has raised over $1M for construction's mental health charities around the world – and an anonymous donor has just committed a further $1M over the years ahead! That's a $2M investment into improving mental health in construction. It's seismic, and will help turn the tide on this issue, ultimately saving lives 🙏 I want to say a huge thank you to everyone that has made a donation in support of this cause, and to @procoretech for walking and the walk and helping us make such an impact with the Get Construction Talking campaign. To receive and celebrate these two pieces of incredible news at Groundbreak 2026 in Orlando was an unforgettable experience. It meant the world to me to stand with @theCIASP's Sonya Bohman on stage and share in such an emotional moment. Most of all, I was proud to stand alongside my friend, Procore's Sasha Reed. No one has been a greater support to this cause. No has fought harder or been more consistent in driving us to this extraordinary milestone. We were both worried that raising $1M might be too ambitious – then this amazing industry went and committed $2M 🤩 Get Construction Talking was founded by @Fred_Mills, @TheB1M and @procoretech to raise awareness and drive action around improving mental health in construction.

What a milestone. Thanks to an incredibly generous donation from Bob Gardner and Gardner Builders, the @GetConstTalking campaign has now raised $963,791 for construction’s mental health charities across the US, UK and Australia, and is closing in on its $1M target ✊ I want to say a massive thank you to everyone that's donated so far. While a number of large organisations and prominent leaders have made amazing contributions, the overwhelming number of small personal donations shows the incredible grassroots support there is for tackling this issue. These crucial funds are helping construction’s leading mental health charities around the world provide the vital support and resources our industry needs. If you’re able to, we’d love you to make a donation 👉 getconstructiontalking.org/d… Get Construction Talking was founded by myself, @TheB1M and @procoretech to raise awareness and drive action around mental health in construction, using the power of our two companies to lift up and shine a light on the important and urgent work happening in this area. We're looking forward to seeing everyone at Procore's Groundbreak 2026 in Orlando next week! Get Construction Talking is teaming up with the @theCIASP to run a very exciting coffee activation where we are hoping to take our fundraising total to $1M.

I know from personal experience how hard it can be to talk about your mental health 🙏 It's why I am so pleased to see the British Standards Institution's (BSI) new practical resource pack and guide for talking about suicide in construction published today, and to have played a part in helping put it together alongside so many fantastic organisations and experts. The guide is available to download for free 👉 bsigroup.com/en-GB/insights-… Special thanks to BSI, @GetConstTalking, @TheB1M, @MatesInMind, @theCIOB, @CITB_UK, @MaceGroup, @cityoflondon #GetConstructionTalking #mentalhealth

"Perception is not a cosmetic problem for the construction industry. It has material consequences for whether we have the people, capital and public permission required to build." Huge thanks to the team at Hoare Lea for featuring me in the Autumn 2026 edition of Exploare Magazine! think.hoarelea.com/exploare/…

What a moment. Getting access all areas to the world's most famous construction site: La Sagrada Família. Full documentary dropping soon on @TheB1M YouTube channel 🏗️

Before the UK's tallest new skyscraper can rise, teams first have to navigate London's toughest deconstruction job. Absolutely loved checking out this site. Full video coming soon to @TheB1M 🏗️

The built environment is massive. It supports an incredible 1 in 8 jobs in the UK and is twice the size of financial services. It really is time that we recognised it as one sector. I am proud to be the ambassador for @nlalondon's new One Built Environment campaign ✊ You can show your support by signing the declaration here 👉 builtenvironment.one/ #1BuiltEnvironment #MakeConstructionFamous

How do you protect one of the world’s most complex historic buildings from fire? I caught up with Lord Roe, former Commissioner of the London Fire Brigade, to find out as part of @TheB1M’s special deep-dive documentary on the Palace of Westminster. Fire safety here is a major and carefully managed challenge. The building’s age, complexity and continuous use mean the risk can never be reduced to zero, but extensive detection, alarm and protection measures are in place. It was fascinating to take a closer look at how fire risk is managed at the Palace today, and to better understand why its long-term restoration is so important. Full documentary, with extraordinary access behind the scenes of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, is up on YouTube now 🏗️

Mega builds sit right on the frontier of what humans can do: bigger, bolder and pushing us beyond what came before. Good to talk about these amazing projects and what they mean for our world with @alohasasha at @procoretech in Austin 🇺🇸

If you're a major contractor we have a seriously epic event planned for you on 16 September. Inside The World's Biggest Mega Builds, hosted by @TheB1M and @procoretech will take place on Level 50 of London's 8 Bishopsgate skyscraper.
