10/09/10 - Thomas Vale Exceeds Standards

Thomas Vale Construction has achieved an impressive score in a recent Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) audit. The 6m junior school, Tipton Green which is being constructed on behalf of Sandwell Council, received 37 out of 40 in their first audit.

The project was recognised for high levels of community engagement, with scores far exceeding the industry average of 30.75, which demonstrates exceptional performance against the CCS Code of Practice.

Tipton GreenJuniorSchool received top marks in two categories, ‘Considerate’, and ‘Responsible’.

Patrick Dawson, CCS Monitor said: “Excellent progress made prior to starting on site and since, with no less than 26 languages spoken at the school in this multi cultural environment. I look forward to returning later in the year when the project will be more advanced."

The Considerate Constructors Scheme is a national initiative which has been set up by the construction industry to improve its image. Sites that register with the Scheme sign up and are monitored against a Code of Considerate Practice, designed to encourage best practice beyond statutory requirements.
