Satisfaction with the BM TRADA Q-Mark Certification Scheme as a measure of its product performance and as a marketing tool.
The Q-Mark member in question, JCK Joinery from Leicester is supplying the fit-out contractor, the Hurst Group, with more than 200 doorsets.
A significant quantity had already gone into the development of another site known as The Undercliff, in Bradford.
Anthony Kellett, the managing director of JCK Joinery, comments: "The doorsets we are providing contribute to the overall design considerations of energy efficiency, low maintenance and the use of sustainable materials to provide quality affordable dwellings." "We are supplying joinery doorsets to the Hurst Group, who are doing all the fit out of the houses once the frames are erected and obviously Secured by Design was an essential part of the specification for the ground floor.
"We joined the Q-Mark scheme for enhanced security in 2003, having originally been with another certification provider, and have been pleased with the service.
Because of our wide product range we need good support from the test house to resolve any difficulties at the development stage and deal with changes in the testing standards." The doorsets JCK Joinery has supplied for the Peterborough site, a development to be known as Hampton Township, are traditional joinery doorsets, either pairs or single units with a side panel.
The architectural practice leading the cutting edge MMC projects is The Geoffrey Wybor Practice while Accent Housing is the RSL which will manage the affordable housing being created.
