Benefits

The benefits of registering your company with the Scheme include:

  • Membership of the nationally recognised Scheme endorsed by local authorities, the Government, main contractors and major industry clients.
  • Gaining a competitive edge with prospective clients by demonstrating a commitment to the highest standards.
  • Considerate Constructors Scheme branding and recognition.
  • Listing on the Scheme's website which may be used by main contractors or members of the public to find companies and evaluate performance.
  • Independent assessment of your company and sites by experienced industry professionals.
  • A means by which you can assess and benchmark your own performance and strive for development and improvement.
  • The possibility of winning National Company Awards.

Registration with the Scheme has helped us gain more contracts and has proved to be one of the best moves we have made. We would highly recommend it to other construction companies as the way forward.

NWPS Construction Ltd

Our clients frequently comment on the care we show and the high level of communication given prior and throughout the works. We won a 2012 Gold Award and we are very proud of that achievement. The award itself has lead us to many tender opportunities, and on a recent large project, it was one of the client's reasons for selecting Elev8 Interiors where we were neck to neck with a competitor on price.

Elev8 Interiors Ltd

We have found the registration process with the CCS to be simple and the regular assessment visits to be of great value. This independent review of how we measure against the industry benchmark is a valuable tool in ensuring we deliver client and public satisfaction.

This is our proof that our onsite behaviour standards are exemplary and our potential clients can rely on this accreditation rather than our verbal assurances."

Built Offsite Ltd

Registering with the Scheme has been hugely beneficial to N & R Huddersfield. Not only have we been able to secure more contracts but we now take a different approach to our work, one which we know plays a small part in improving the image of construction.

Mark Robinson, N & R Huddersfield Ltd

I cannot endorse the importance of Company Registration highly enough and would not hesitate in recommending it to any companies who wish to improve standards, appearance and processes.

Tony Turner, Collins Construction Plc

Registration was simple and the office visit helped to explain to staff what was expected; our approach has since developed with every site and every visit, and the scores achieved are a matter of great pride. Participation in the Scheme has become a necessary accreditation in securing places on cost and quality tender lists.

The Scheme has also seen a significant number of trade contractors register under Company Registration, not only to directly benefit their own company, but to support the main contractors with whom they work. These supply chain companies play a vital role in any construction project and can have a major impact on how the site is viewed by the general public. Registered trade contractors gain the many benefits of being registered with the Scheme, while main contractors feel secure in the knowledge that any registered trade contractor operating on their site will be working to the highest levels of consideration.

Nigel McKay, Procurement Director for Lend Lease, commented:

There are known benefits in registering with the Considerate Constructors Scheme and it is great to see the Scheme encouraging more trade contractors to sign up. Companies will find this type of registration hugely beneficial as they can receive the same benefits that registered sites have been able to enjoy for the last 14 years. I think this means of registration is excellent and will aid trade contractors in gaining a competitive edge by demonstrating a commitment to the highest standards of best practice. I would ask all those involved in the procurement of trade contractors to encourage their supply chain to sign up to this initiative as registration will only help in improving the already high standards of consideration on UK construction sites.

Suzannah Nichol MBE, Chief Executive of the National Specialist Contractors' Council (NSCC), added:

Safe, well run sites are a priority for all contractors and clients, and NSCC supports the efforts made by the Considerate Constructors Scheme in encouraging trade contractors to join. Company Registration means that Specialist Contractors can demonstrate their commitment to raising standards by registering both their sites and their companies with the Scheme.
