iN-sites is UNIT8D's weekly look inside the work — the N is for News. From rail possessions and civils packages to utilities, infrastructure and the people delivering them, we look at what's happening on the ground, what it tells us, and what the industry can learn from it.
One story. One number. One question. Every week.
The story — a real issue from the work: what happened, what nearly happened, or what we can learn.
The number — one figure that puts the issue in context.
The question — one question for the industry, taking the conversation onto our socials through the week.
How we write it: weekly, one story, one number, one question. Each issue is written and checked on the day it is published.
