Living on a building site
Moving into your brand‑new house is an exciting milestone, and you may be one of the first customers on the development as we continue building homes around you.
Living on an active building site is perfectly safe, and with a little extra awareness, you can settle in and enjoy your new home while work continues nearby. Building sites do contain hazards, some more obvious than others, so it’s important to take a moment to familiarise yourself with the guidance below.
If you’re ever unsure about anything, please speak to your Persona Sales Executive or a member of our Customer Care team. When it comes to site safety, there really are no silly questions; we’re always happy to help.
Key safety guidelines
Keep an eye on children. Building sites are not playgrounds, even though they may look tempting to curious little explorers. Children should not play in construction areas, and you may need to supervise outdoor play until works are complete.
Watch your step. Some footpaths and roads may be unfinished and could present trip hazards, so take care and stay aware when walking around the development.
Be alert around vehicles. Large delivery vehicles and construction machinery will be in use. Always make sure drivers have seen you before passing in front of or around vehicles; a clear ‘thumbs up’ is the best way to confirm.
Respect site boundaries. Temporary fencing marks the line between completed homes and active construction zones. These boundaries may shift as development progresses, so please note any changes.
Expect some disruption. Our teams do their best to minimise dust, mud and noise, but some disruption is unavoidable while work continues.
Final road finishes. Roads and footpaths may not yet have their final layer of tarmac. This is usually applied once all homes are complete, and you can help by keeping roads and footpaths clear of parked vehicles when needed.
With a little care and cooperation, you can enjoy your new home safely while we put the finishing touches on the neighbourhood around you.
