I think to exclude the RIBA as a core contributor to this important inquiry is a mistake by the selection team ('Grenfell Tower inquiry turns down RIBA's offerto help', AJ online 22.11.17). The RIBA and its specialist architects could make a very valid part of the team, and draw on a wealth of experience and knowledge as building and design experts.Architects are the only members of the design team who have a full understanding of the whole building process and specification details. Why would they not be included? Why is there no architect as one of the three key assessors? Maybe they don't realise the value we architects bring and are out of touch, or don't want to engage a full team of experts! The result would be a lot quicker and more professional if they did. It's not too late to have the RIBA included?
