The Considerate Constructors Scheme is the national initiative, set up by the construction industry, to improve its image.

Sites and companies that register with the Scheme sign up and are monitored against a Code of Considerate Practice, designed to encourage best practice beyond statutory requirements.

The Scheme is concerned about any area of construction activity that may have a direct or indirect impact on the image of the industry as a whole. The main areas of concern fall into three main categories: the environment, the workforce and the general public.

It is encouraging that participation by construction businesses in Considerate Constructors Scheme continues to grow. The Scheme logo we see on so many site hoardings shows that the project partners care about the local community they operate in, and are committed to the Scheme’s ‘Code of Considerate Practice’.

That sends a strong, positive message about the industry as a whole, and reflects a good practice approach that I would recommend to all construction businesses.
