Abstract
The Grenfell Tower Inquiry reports paint a terrifying image of the construction industry, as an ensemble, and particularly, in all matters pertaining fire safe design. Carefully look at these reports will help define responsibilities and legal procedures will do this for many years to come. Nevertheless, it is also essential to address the future and how we evolve our practises and professionals in a manner that prevents a tragedy of this nature to happen again. For this purpose, a key message needs to be emphasized: a functional requirements system of regulation will not deliver what society expects unless a rigorous competency framework is created and implemented for all professionals involved in fire safety. The means to create and put in practise such a framework is at the core of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 2 recommendations.
