“The proposed development was not popular at the planning stage but once construction work has started the company has amalgamated with the community and the negatives have become positives. The site is being enthusiastically managed in a way that epitomises the ethos of considerate construction and in doing so creates a positive image for both the client and the contractor” Site monitor
Considerate Constructors Scheme
WESTFIELDS HOUSING, OSMOTHERLEY
Before works commenced we had environmental issues to resolve and a considerable amount of infrastructure work to be carried out before the homes could commence which meant the 42 week contract period was tight.
The scheme involved building 12 new homes for Broadacres Housing association conforming to code for sustainable homes level 3 and a breeam rating.
Traditionally built using local materials such as sandstone, bricks and pan tile roofs.
These homes incorporated harvesting tanks, air source heat pumps, composters and rain water butts.
The whole project was completed within the planned programme period of 42 weeks.
The scheme gained an enviable 37 score and awarded a bronze award with the Considerate Constructors Scheme.
