Welcome back to The Built Environment Bulletin. Over the last month, three themes have stood out across the forensic engineering, building enclosure, and construction claims markets: consolidation is accelerating, specialist expertise remains in short supply, and firms are investing heavily in talent and technical capability ahead of what looks like a busy next phase of growth. This month's bulletin explores each of those themes through recent transactions, market developments, and a step forward for the future talent pipeline in forensic engineering.

Alongside that, we cover a spotlight on extreme weather's growing impact on the forensic engineering pipeline, plus the latest regulatory and market developments.
