Start with the news release Basement solution to shoe-box homes from Concrete Centre, which we summarised at the time by saying "Guy Thompson, head of architecture and sustainability at The Concrete Centre, believes the provision of basements would help counter RIBA criticism of 'shameful shoe-box homes'.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release New Safedoors retail offer from Permadoor from Permadoor: "Permadoor, supported by the Epwin Group have launched a dedicated retail offer for fabricators and installers.".
