However, keen to aim for the Gold Award, members of the
Kisiel team worked closely with the Metropolitan Police
to enhance the security in the external environment to
significantly reduce the opportunity for crime and anti-social
behaviour.
Following an assessment and having met the vigorous
standards set, a Gold Award was achieved. The Met Police
Designing Out Crime Officer commented ‘Gold Awards are
rare, and compliance is strict in order to achieve the high
standards of crime prevention’. (https://www.kisiel.co.uk/

Having added this value to the development, the Kisiel team
also provided a quality finish. Our trades people do not just
‘make do’ but they are proud to deliver work to an excellent
standard. The manager of the local estate agents appointed
to sell the houses told us that they were of a much higher
standard than he would normally expect, and it made his job
much easier to market the properties.
How a developer or an architect choose a building contractor
is key to the success of any project. If you mis-match the
contractor to the specific needs of a project, issues can
be encountered but choosing the right contractor who
understands the requirements of the client is the best
approach. The Kisiel Group team once again proved that
they can effectively collaborate with an architect and went
that extra step to meet the needs of the
developer.
