Bellway Homes have been added to CCPI’s growing list of supporters

Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) are delighted to welcome Bellway Homes to its CCPI Demand-Side Supporters. 

CCPI Demand Side Supporters are leading contractors, developers and housebuilders who have stepped up to support the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) and signed a pledge to work with their strategic suppliers and manufacturers to drive CCPI conformance and raise standards in the industry. 

In becoming a CCPI Supporter, Bellway Homes is committing to supporting the CCPI and requiring its strategic suppliers and manufacturers of construction products in its supply chain to register with CCPI and ensure that its product information is assessed against the CCPI. 

The pledge includes a focus that CCPI conformance will be delivered as soon as possible and has a timebound commitment for delivery. To this end and wherever possible, CCPI Supporters are committed to introducing this commitment into supply agreements as a preference and prioritising working with strategic suppliers and manufacturers who prioritise delivery of CCPI assessment and conformance. 

Amanda Long, Chief Executive of CPI Ltd, the not-for-profit organisation set-up to independently verify CCPI conformance said, ‘I warmly congratulate Bellway Homes on its leadership as it joins other early adopters recognising the critical importance of the Code for Construction Product Information. Watch this space for further CCPI Supporters announcements to come!’ 

CCPI Demand-Side Supporters provides the opportunity for organisations that wish to drive positive tangible change in the sector from the demand-side to join this community and demonstrate their commitment.

 Notes for editors: 

The aim of the Code for Construction Product information (CCPI) is to raise standards in construction product information and marketing and drive positive culture change in the manufacturing and supply sector in relation to product information and marketing.  Ultimately, we seek to move the industry to a place where product information is clear, accurate, accessible, up-to-date and unambiguous.   

The CCPI assessment process includes critical mechanisms, such as our Leadership and Culture and ongoing Registration elements, which do not exist elsewhere in the construction sector in assessments for manufacturers and their product information.  These, along with other aspects of CCPI Registration, such as our Issues Portal, provide valuable elements of assessment and on-going engagement to help users and specifiers have more confidence that they are working with manufacturers and suppliers that are committed to continually improving their product information by registering and conforming with the CCPI. Please note, conformance with CCPI is not a guarantee of product information.    

There are two separate Codes – one for Manufacturers and the other for Merchants & Distributors. For Manufacturers there are eleven Clauses of the CCPI which cover a wide range of matters from responsibility for product information, to clarity of performance claims made, general information and competency.  

For Merchants & Distributors there is a four-clause Code of the CCPI covering a range of responsibilities, including requirements to have audit trails for all product information, documented sign-off process, and have a company policy in place to promote the Manufacturers CCPI to its suppliers.   

The aim is that clients, specifiers and users will make preference to work with products that conform to CCPI.
