  • Team achieve third consecutive top score from Considerate Constructors Scheme

    The team at Chelsea Court have once again achieved an amazing top score of 45/45 from their recent audit visit by the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) making it their third consecutive top score.

    Upon hearing the news Divisional Manager, James Jennings commented: "This is an amazing achievement which the whole team should be immensely proud of - well done to all involved."

    When the CCS monitor visited the scheme recently to carry out their audit of the site, they commented things like "There is extensive liaison with both the client's representative on the site and residents. There's an excellent level of engagement with all those affected by the works."

    The CCS is an independent organisation founded to raise standards in the construction industry to ensure all construction sites present an image of competent management, efficiency, awareness of environmental issues and above all neighbourliness. Monitors from the scheme regularly audit our sites to ensure we are adhering to the scheme’s Code of Considerate Practice which is designed to encourage best practice beyond statutory requirement.

    Each audit is split into three categories; respect for the community, protecting the environment and valuing the workforce each with a potential score out of 15 with a total combined max score of 45 available. To score above 13 in any category warrants an excellent level of achievement for that category.

    Congratulations to Site Managers, Sergiu and Adie and the rest of the site team, who work so hard every day to maintain such high standards
