Sovereign Housing Group
Social landlords are often trail-blazers for construction developments. For example, the government's Code for Sustainable Homes (announced in December 2006) is voluntary for private sector housing developers, but mandatory for the public sector. In this rapidly changing environment, Sovereign Housing Group has realised that there is strength in numbers. It has created a Consortium of social housing developers, and forged partnerships with its contractors. So far, the Consortium has streamlined its administration and introduced economies of scale, but that is not all. This approach is driving through improvements in the environmental performance of its homes, minimising waste, and helping members of the Consortium to address wider issues such as supply chain management and health and safety in a consistent and effective way.
