Team achieve 'excellent' score for first Considerate Constructors Scheme audit

After receiving their very first audit from the Considerate Constructors Scheme last month, the Cygnus Court site team have achieved a fantastic score giving them an Excellent rating!

The team achieved near top marks in each of the three categories of 'Respect the Community', 'Care for the Environment' and 'Value their Workforce', achieving an impressive score of 43/45.

On 27th September, a CCS monitor joined Senior Site Manager, Mark Rains for an on-site tour to carry out their audit of the site, commenting things like "At this stage of the project, where only investigative works are being carried out, an excellent level of conformance is achieved across the Scheme's requirements. I would anticipate that the high standard demonstrated today can be maintained and I trust that the works can be commenced soon."

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 Mark and the rest of the site team, and well done for achieving a fantastic score.
