Norfolk team achieves 'Excellent' rating from Considerate Constructors Scheme visit

The EQUANS site team based in Norfolk received an impressive score of 42/45 for their second audit visit by the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) after scoring high marks in each of the three categories.

On 8^th September, a CCS monitor visited the scheme and carried out their audit of the site, commenting things like "The overall appearance of the site is excellent, and it is clear the contractor is taking extensive steps to ensure this community beneficial project relates well to the locality. All parts of the site appear to be extremely clean and tidy, and a very professional image is displayed in all areas of operation, highlighting the professional manner in which the project is being run."

"There has been extensive interaction with residents and controlling authorities regarding the works and extremely effective lines of communication have been established. It is clear that safety related issues are of paramount importance to the contractor and active steps are taken to provide a safe working environment for all. I am sure this site will continue to flourish in terms of Scheme compliance and that there will be further positive advances."

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 Manager, Alex and the rest of the site team, who work so hard every day to maintain such high standards
