Considerate Constructors Scheme

Why?

The construction industry has a huge impact on all our lives, with most construction work taking place in sensitive locations. If all construction sites and companies presented an image of competent management, efficiency, awareness of environmental issues and above all neighbourliness, then they would become a positive advertisement, not just for themselves but for the industry as a whole.

What?

The Code of Considerate Practice commits those sites, companies and suppliers registered with the Scheme to respect the community, care for the environment and value their workforce.

Who?

The Scheme is open to construction sites, companies and suppliers of all types and size and for every type of construction activity, with many construction companies and clients automatically registering all their work as company policy.

How?

Through the monitoring of registered sites, companies and suppliers, and the displaying of posters around the construction site, promoting registration with the Scheme. If passers-by wish to comment, the name and telephone number of the site manager or company contact is clearly displayed, alongside the freephone telephone number of the Scheme’s administration office. Registered companies and suppliers also display a vehicle sticker or magnet, showing their unique registration number, on every vehicle used on the public highway.

When?

• Sites should be registered before any construction activity commences, including initial demolition work.

• Construction companies, including main and trade contractors, can register at any time.

• Construction suppliers can register at any time.
