Housebuilder Persimmon has introduced a new team of independent construction quality inspectors in each of its regional businesses in a bid to improve the build quality of its homes.
The new team will work independently of Persimmon’s site managers to strengthen its existing quality assurance processes, which include a site inspection regime conducted by its construction teams, subcontractors and independent building control third parties.
Commenting on the change, Persimmon said: “This approach is designed to help enforce ongoing cultural change based on the principles and recommendations of the Hackitt Review within the group. In addition, we have changed our internal management processes to start to embed the principle of “the golden thread of information” highlighted in the Hackitt Review, which will help our teams more clearly identify and manage the key risks we face on each of our development sites, particularly regarding building safety.”
