Part of Clegg Construction's commitment to corporate social responsibility involves participation in the Considerate Constructors scheme. This project was no exception with initiatives including:
Conducting a thorough resident liaison process - the new building is close to a new housing estate; to ensure all residents were kept up to date with the programme, we provided information through a number of methods, including door to door liaison and site specific newsletters. Our site signage also reflected the residential surroundings
Site specific traffic management plan - due to the residential nature of the building's surroundings, we ensured we minimised disruption to residents by creating a site specific management plan; this involved maintaining clear access to the site, providing designated parking and creating a delivery plan to coincide with less busy times
Provided work experience placements - we were pleased to use the long construction period to offer work experience placements. We offered Declan Watson, 15, a 7 day placement, where he assisted in health and safety management, checking the workforces' PPE, paperwork and maintaining site security. Experiencing a site atmosphere left a positive impression; Declan particularly enjoyed seeing the varying trades and the entire site's approach to teamwork. He is now considering studying Civil Engineering at University.
