Sustainability

Working sustainably is a responsibility we take very seriously and the importance of adopting good practices is instilled in our employees, our supply chain and throughout every stage of a project, even before we move on to site.

We have extensive experience in renewable, low carbon, ecologically friendly forms of construction ranging from solar photovoltaic, heat pumps, heat recovery ventilation systems, water harvesting, sustainable drainage and sustainable building materials such as recycled, salvaged and sustainable material resources including hempcrete, timber, rubber, glass, aggregates and paper.

As responsible contractors who are ISO14001 accredited, we operate our sites with stringent environmental controls in place. These range from:

  • Surface water management
  • Environmental risk assessments
  • The energy we use on sites is from 100% renewable sources
  • Waste management – we minimise waste and use licensed companies. Typically, 90% of waste is recycled
  • Wildlife conservation measures
  • Low emission or EV plant
  • Vehicle sharing
  • Cycle-to-work initiatives
  • Flexible working policy

What Our Clients Say

  • “Peter was outstanding when it came to communications and implementing changes and fixes that were required by the building work supplier. Very happy to recommend Gipping's services to others.”

    Oliver Squirrell, Old Jet Airspace Programme

  • “I just wanted to thank you again for pretty much everything! I absolutely love our home and it was totally worth the wait. There isn’t a single thing I’d change, it really is perfect. The landscapers have been now too and it’s totally transformed the outside space, it just looks incredible. I feel super lucky to live here, every time I pull up back home I smile and feel so grateful and lucky.  All the workmen have been incredibly lovely and gone above and beyond too, you have such a great team of people, they are extremely lovely and that makes a huge difference. I wish you well in all that you do creating beautiful homes for people. Thank you so so much.”

    Kayleigh Williams: Wix

  • “As a team, Gipping met every expectation throughout the project. Steve James provided the exact role and attitude required for a project of this nature. The way he managed the works on site, given the difficult “live” environment was a credit to the firm. The overall management and support for Steve from Steve Offord and Joe was also a large factor in the smooth running of the scheme. All involved should be commended and are a credit to Gipping. Thank you for your part in a very successful scheme.”

    Ben Mitchell, The Design partnership: Walden Place

  • “Carl, and the team, were fantastic during this phase of the project. Carl kept us updated with how the work was going and always had time to check with us if he thought things would impact on the running of the school. The site was always clean and tidy. The project was delivered slightly ahead of schedule, which made the transition into the build much easier for us! Thank you!”

    Hannah Brookman, Tollgate Primary School Phase I

  • “It was a pleasure working with Gipping and we are very happy with our new home. Shaun Whiting was an exceptional Site Manager and remained professional, approachable and friendly throughout the entire build. The site was always tidy, well-managed and busy. We felt as if the entire Gipping team took our project seriously and truly cared about getting the build right. I would highly recommend you to anyone who is considering building a home.”

    Elizabeth Goodrich, Amento
