Book Description

THIS PUBLICATION HAS BEEN ARCHIVED.

Whilst this publication can still be purchased some of the information in it has been superseded by more recent research and standards. The BRE Group does not accept any responsibility whatsoever for any loss or damage, including - without limitation - indirect or consequential loss or damage arising from use, or loss of use, of data or profits arising out of, or in connection with, the use of this document.


The construction industry and its clients are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of giving more consideration to the needs of the local community. Improved relationships with the local community can bring substantial business benefits in the short and long term: reducing time and money spent dealing with complaints and increasing job satisfaction and motivation among site workers, as well as improving the company’s reputation.

This Guide identifies typical impacts of construction projects on local people and businesses, and gives advice on how to mitigate some of the negative impacts.

An accompanying CD-ROM holds the template for an information leaflet that explains construction projects to the general public and which can be adapted to inform them about specific projects with timescales, contact names and phone numbers, etc.

There is also a template for a questionnaire that can be used to assess the impact of construction work on local residents and businesses. It can be used again later to measure the success of a communication programme and any measures taken to reduce pollution and disruption for the local community. 48 Pages and CD-ROM.

 

FILES ON THE CD ARE AVAILABLE WITH THE ONLINE VERSION IN A ZIP FILE.
