Considerate

All work is to be carried out with positive consideration for the needs of residents, traders, businesses, site personnel and visitors, and the general public. Special attention is to be given to the needs of those with sight, hearing and mobility difficulties. 

Environment

Be aware of the environmental impact of sites and minimise as far as possible the effects of noise, light and air pollution. Efforts should be made to select and use local resources wherever possible.  Attention should be paid to waste management and materials should be reused and recycled where possible. 

Cleanliness

All working sites are to be kept clean and in good order at all times. Site facilities should always be maintained to a good standard. Surplus materials and rubbish should not be allowed to accumulate on the sites or spill over into the surroundings. Dirt and dust from construction operations should be kept to a minimum. 

Good Neighbour

General information regarding registration with the Scheme should be provided for all neighbours affected by the works. Full and regular communication with neighbours, including adjacent residents, traders and businesses, regarding programming and site activities should be maintained from pre-start to completion. 

Respectful

Respectable and safe standards of dress should be maintained at all times. Lewd or derogatory behaviour and language should not be tolerated, under threat of severe disciplinary action. Pride in the management and appearance of sites and the surrounding environment is to be shown at all times.  Operatives should be instructed in how properly to deal with the general public. 

Safe

Construction operations and site vehicle movements are to be carried out with care and consideration for the safety of site personnel, visitors and the general public.  No building activity should be a security risk to others. 

Responsible

Ensure that everyone associated with the registered company and sites understands, implements and complies with this Code.

Accountable

The Considerate Constructors Scheme Company Registration posters are to be displayed where clearly visible to the general public on each site covered by the Company Registration.  The contact details of the registered company should be obvious to anyone that may be affected by its activities. All registered company vehicles, used on the public highway, must display the company registration logo with an up to date registration number.
