Hub North Scotland Projects Win Two CSS Awards

Two hub North Scotland developments have been recognised at the Considerate Constructors Scheme's (CSS) National Site Awards.

The new Alford Community Campus and Noss Primary School, both in Aberdeenshire, achieved a Bronze and Silver award respectively at the ceremony in London.

Each scheme was praised for measures put in place that allowed both sites to be 'more considerate' towards local neighbourhoods, the public, the workforce and the environment.

Chief executive Angus Macfarlane said: "Consideration of the site's surroundings, the environment, the community it is within and the workforce on site itself remains an integral focus of all hub North Scotland projects so to be recognised with two national awards is extremely pleasing.

"Our operating territory spans the length and breadth of northern Scotland, from Oban and Dunoon right through to Shetland and with each individual project comes its own unique set of challenges, whether it is weather, site location or even the build itself. Preparation for these challenges is key and overcoming them is vital to maintaining a project that is considerate to its location and its people."
