Black Cat Chat: The Building Podcast. Ep.11 with Rob Green & Mack Argent

We’ve taken Black Cat Chat on the road (and into a proper recording studio for the first time) for an episode with the Birmingham team. Joined by Birmingham lead Rob Green and Director / Building Surveyor Mack Argent, Andy Clow explores how the Birmingham office has grown, how Rob and Mack’s different specialisms complement each other, and the kinds of work keeping the team busy, from retail regeneration projects to fast-turnaround technical due diligence across national industrial portfolios. We also talk about what makes Black Cat different as the business has scaled (now truly multidisciplinary), why the Director-led model matters, and what opportunities are opening up in the Midlands as the team continues to grow. If you’re interested in building surveying, project work, technical due diligence, retail and industrial assets, grassroots cricket, or you’re simply curious about life at Black Cat, this one’s for you. 🎧 Listen, subscribe, and let us know what you’d like to hear next!

Black Cat Chat: The Building Podcast. Ep.08 Focus on PI Insurance with Stephen Barnes

Professional Indemnity (PI) insurance might not be glamorous, but it is business-critical. In this episode of Black Cat Chat, Andy Clow sits down with Stephen Barnes, Director & Founder, to unpack what PI Insurance really is, why many firms misunderstand it, and how Black Cat sets a higher bar. Stephen explains: * Why exclusions and sub-limits (fire, basements and more) matter * What “adequate and appropriate” should look like in practice * Black Cat’s approach: no exclusions, proportionate limits, full team education and rigorous QA * The simple question every client should add to their RFPIf you commission surveys or projects, or you are a surveyor who wants to protect clients and yourself, this one is essential listening. Watch now and learn the exact words to request in your next quote, plus how to sense-check PI against project value.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
