Lovell in Scotland scoops 2009 Considerate Constructors awards |
|
Lovell has received a pair of Considerate Constructors awards for its sensitive, tidy and environmentally-friendly approach to construction work on two major Scottish housing projects.
Lovell received a bronze award for its work on five T84s which it has undertaken as part of Glasgow Housing Association’s (GHA) multi-million pound investment programme. The project included the overcladding and upgrading of roofing and balcony areas at five, eight-storey housing blocks in the Hillpark area of the city. Lovell carried out the improvement works as part of company’s four-year framework agreement with GHA to upgrade its housing stock. In addition, the company picked up a further bronze award for The Courtyard, a new development of 34 flats and 14 townhouses for open market sale in Irvine. Bobby Caldwell, site manager for Lovell on the T84 scheme, and Robert Donald, site manager at The Courtyard, received the awards on the company’s behalf at a specially-arranged ceremony held at the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh. To win the bronze awards, Lovell had to demonstrate its commitment to the Considerate Constructors Scheme code of practice which requires the company to show sensitivity to the local community and environment, display outstanding levels of health and safety, and liaise closely with local residents at all times.
