Uni Development Awarded Leading UK Score For Its Construction Approach

Birds of prey, five-a-side football and local fundraising have helped the firm behind new student accommodation for Aston University win national recognition.

Midlands-based BAM Construction received an 'exceptional' score from industry improvement body the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) for work on Aston Student Village Phase Two.

The firm scored 37 out of 40, placing it well within the top three per cent of schemes in the whole country.

BAM scored at least 4.5 out of 5 in every category, including environment, appearance, respect, safety and being a good neighbour.

The CCS inspectors highlighted the company's waste management efforts, which have seen 95% of waste currently diverted from landfill.

Awareness of wildlife was also complimented, with a kestral nesting in an adjacent building.

Charitable and community work has included weekly five-a-side football with proceeds donated to Birmingham Children's Hospital.

A windshield fitted to the 18 storey main tower cuts down on noise transmission and protects privacy from neighbouring student accommodation.
