Considerate Construction
How we are addressing this issue:
In order to minimise the impact of our construction sites on local communities, all of our construction sites are registered under the voluntary Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) and we aim to achieve a minimum of 32 points in all CCS audits.
Our performance:
In 2010/11:
- All sites were registered with the CCS.
- The Group average score in CCS audits was 35.5, exceeding the industry average score of 32.5 points for the Berkeley financial year 2010/11.
- Four sites did not achieve a score above 32 – two scored 31.5 and two scored 31.
- Our continued commitment to being a considerate constructor was recognised through the 2011 CCS Awards. Dakota House was runner up in the Most Considerate Site Award, Parkwest achieved a gold award and numerous other sites achieved silver and bronze awards including Queen Mary's Place, Forest Hill Central and Silkworks.
Our Vision2020 commitments and ambitions:
As part of delivering Vision2020 we have set specific objectives to help ensure that we continue to be a considerate neighbour during construction works.
Our commitment from May 2011:
- Register all sites with the Considerate Constructors Scheme and achieve a minimum of 32 points in all site audits
Our ambition from May 2012:
- Register all sites with the Considerate Constructors Scheme and achieve a minimum of 34 points in all site audits
