We are committed to improving our building maintenance programmes, workforce, business capacity and capabilities.
How performance is measured
For transparency, we measure our performance against agreed targets. This year we met or exceeded all our targets. We maintained our position as one of Merseyside’s leading building maintenance companies in a number of areas which our customers view as priority. These include planned maintenance and responsive repairs programmes.
In addition, we have significantly increased the time engaging in the community, helping us to communicate important messages to tenants and build customer confidence.

Providing an excellent customer service
Delivering a quality planned and responsive social housing maintenance service to our customers is what we are expected to achieve. What differentiates the service JC Construction Ltd provides is our focus on looking after our customers and the pride our employees take in serving their local community on Merseyside.
We are responsive when customers call, take action to resolve issues, take ownership of the problem, keep them informed while we deal with their requests, and act on feedback received. This approach, together with a well-resourced array of facilities and highly skilled workforce allows us to deliver a timely and well-expedited service to our customers, resulting in an excellent customer experience.
As we need to keep improving our service, we have plans to develop our technology and systems to give customers more choice and flexibility in their contact with us. This will include providing a Tenant Support facility on our website, increasing our use of electronic communication channels, and introducing social media.
JC Construction Ltd pride ourselves on being responsive, and measure the promptness on how quickly we respond to a customer’s enquiry in terms of initial call to resolving the problem. From March 2015 to March 2016, we met our target to respond to over 99% of customer responsive maintenance enquiries within xx days.

Engaging with our community and customers
JC Construction Ltd is part of the local community and need to be seen as such so that we can better relate to and understand our customers in which we serve. We constantly identify and review ways to improve levels of customer awareness and engagement and listen to the views of customers and our ‘hands-on’ workforce, and act on their feedback.
Community partners
In reaching our community, we rely on a close working arrangement with key partnerships to deliver planned works programmes with a high-level of customer support within an agreed framework and realistically achievable KPI’s.

No job is too urgent or trifling to disregard safety, and observance of safety procedures is built into JC Construction Ltd’s work processes, induction and training. Following safety procedures prevents accidents, injuries and ensures that our customers, the public and our employees come to no harm in carrying out our work.
