Considerate Builders Scheme Winner
17/11/2008
ING Real Estate’s 60/62 St Martins Lane development, Project Managed by Trident, has just won the prestigious accolade of Westminster CIty Council’s Considerate Builders Scheme “Site of the Year 2008”
On an average day, more than 600 building projects are under way in Westminster. This is a sign of a healthy, developing City but these activities can also disturb and inconvenience residents, businesses and passers-by. To combat these problems, Westminster City Council runs a Considerate Builders Scheme to promote high standards on all building sites, to encourage builders to take pride in their sites, and to ensure the development proceeds without making life unpleasant for those who live and work nearby.
Co-operation is the key to the success of the scheme. Builders who join the scheme commit themselves to the seven-point Code of Good Practice, shown below. Most builders and their clients have found out that observing the code not only benefits people directly, but also improves the reputation of their businesses.
~Be considerate
~Be quiet
~Be clean
~Be tidy
~Be safe
~Be responsible
~Be accountable
Our congratulations go to Balfour Beatty for this exceptional achievement on a very difficult site, and to ING for their support of the Considerate Builder’s initiative.
