Outstanding Recognition for Tibshelf Community School SEN Block Project
We are delighted Tibshelf Community School SEN Block project has received an exceptional 44/45 score from the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) Monitor. This recognition reflects the hard work and dedication of our team, led by Site Manager Daniel McMahon, in delivering a project that upholds the highest standards of construction excellence.
The CCS Monitor commended the project for outstanding performance across three key categories:
- Respect for the Community: 15/15 – Recognising our team’s efforts to engage with and support the local community, ensuring minimal disruption and fostering positive relationships throughout the construction process.
- Care for the Environment: 14/15 – Highlighting our commitment to sustainable practices, including eco-friendly building solutions and effective waste management.
- Value Their Workforce: 15/15 – Celebrating our dedication to creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for all team members on-site.
This £1.5 million project, commissioned by Derbyshire County Council and delivered in collaboration with Concertus Design and Property Consultants Limited, is focused on providing four state-of-the-art teaching rooms for pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Despite the challenges of working on a live school site, the project is advancing smoothly, thanks to meticulous planning, proactive communication, and innovative construction techniques.
Sustainability lies at the heart of this development. Key eco-friendly features include the installation of photovoltaic panels to harness renewable energy and a hydro-seeded eco retaining wall designed to promote biodiversity and blend harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. These measures align with our commitment to reducing the environmental impact of our projects and delivering lasting benefits to the community.
In addition to the physical construction, our team has gone the extra mile to engage with the Tibshelf school community. Regular updates, careful scheduling, and ongoing dialogue with school representatives ensure that day-to-day school activities remain uninterrupted while fostering a sense of shared ownership in this transformative project.
The SEN Block initiative was procured through NHS Shared Business Services, demonstrating the importance of collaborative frameworks in delivering projects that balance quality, value, and efficiency. Our partnership with Concertus Design and Property Consultants Limited has been instrumental in ensuring that all aspects of the project meet the highest standards of design and execution.
As we move forward, we are excited to see the progress unfold and look forward to sharing more updates in the coming months. This project stands as a testament to what can be achieved through teamwork, innovation, and a commitment to excellence.
