NORTH Ayrshire Council has signed up to the Scottish Construction Quality Improvement Charter (CQIC).

The charter aims to improve construction quality by promoting good practice to deliver improved performance, create safer buildings, deliver compliance to building standards, and help towards achieving net zero ambitions.

North Ayrshire Council has already taken steps to align processes to the CQIC with officers integrating the guidance into requirements for the new build projects for Ardrossan Campus and Montgomerie Park Primary School.

Laurence Cree, head of service for sustainability, transport, and corporate property at North Ayrshire Council, said, “The CQIC aims to ensure that construction quality is central to all aspects of construction.

“We expect this to bring a series of benefits, not only to us and our residents, but also to the construction industry and the environment.”
