Policy on BREEAM
Knight Build Limited fully support
the Government's introduction of regulations that from 1st May
2008 it has been mandatory for all new buildings to be rated against
the Code for Sustainable Buildings.
Knight Build Limited's policy
is based on Part 3 of BES 5058: Issue 1.0 published by BRE Global
Limited in 2009, which provides a framework for the assessment
and evaluation of management policies, procedures and practices
related to the activities that are being carried out in the building
that is to be assessed. The code is an environmental assessment
method for new buildings and contains mandatory performance levels
in 8 key areas.
The Code aims to protect the environment
by providing guidance on the construction of high performance
buildings, built with sustainability in mind.
Knight Build Limited's Contribution
Knight Build Limited carry out various types
of building and civil engineering contracts under a number of
different management systems. Knight Build Limited are keen to
be involved at the design stage where possible and, although this
policy refers to the activities to be employed during the construction
phase, they can be equally applied to the design stages where
this is appropriate.
