Our objectives and standards

We’re not just developers; we’re part of the Newham community – so we want our work to have a positive and lasting impact.

Our strategy is founded on four objectives:

  • Build Less – reuse / retro-fit of existing buildings
  • Build Better – enhance performance and quality
  • Build Smarter – embrace new technology and innovation
  • Build Efficiently – minimise / eliminate waste

We’re keen to work with businesses that can help with those objectives and share our values and priorities.

In practical terms, that means we’re seeking suppliers who understand our commitments to:

  • providing high quality homes, with attention to every detail
  • meeting or exceeding all green building standards, now and in the future – better for residents, better for our community
  • working safely and responsibly, paying staff a living wage
  • minimising disruption to Newham residents when building
  • looking after Newham’s heritage and creating green space
  • offering opportunities to Newham residents to build their skills
  • offering subcontracting opportunities to construction trades in Newham

Our commitment to you

We ask for high ethical standards from our suppliers; we want to offer the same to you. With that in mind, here’s what you can expect from us.

With that in mind, here’s what you can expect from us:

  • Transparency – we’ll be clear about our requirements and the terms and conditions of any contract
  • Timelines – we’ll stick to our procurement timetables and if in exceptional circumstances we can’t, we’ll let you know. We’ll also pay on time.
  • Trust – once you’re appointed, we won’t interfere: we’ll trust you to do your job and let us know of any issues.
