 Started in 1997, this important initiative operates voluntary Site and Company Codes of Considerate Practice, to which participating construction companies and sites sign up. The Scheme is a non profit making independent organisation founded by the industry to improve its image. The Scheme is neither grant maintained nor funded by the government and is solely financed by its registrations. There are two ways in which companies can sign up to the Scheme: Site Registration or Company Registration.
Our aim: To improve the image of construction
Why? The construction industry has a huge impact on all our lives, with much construction work in sensitive locations. If all construction sites and companies presented an image of competent management, efficiency, awareness of local environmental issues and above all neighbourliness, then they would become a positive advertisement, not just for themselves but for the industry as a whole. The Site and Company Codes of Considerate Practice commit those contractors and construction companies in the Scheme to be considerate and good neighbours, as well as clean, respectful, safe, environmentally conscious, responsible and accountable. The Scheme covers all construction activity within the UK. Many construction companies and clients automatically register all their sites. The Scheme is open to construction companies of all types and size and for every type of construction activity. Posters are displayed around the construction site setting out the Code to which the sites and companies are committed. If passers-by wish to comment, the name and telephone number of the Site Manager or company contact are clearly displayed, alongside the free phone telephone number of the Scheme administration office Projects and companies should be registered before work commences. |
