The Considerate Constructors Scheme regularly monitors construction sites. It gives independent assessments on Enhancing the Appearance, Respecting the Community, Protecting the Environment, Securing Everyone’s Safety, and Caring for the Workforce.

These help companies meet the guidelines for the above and address any shortfalls in good practice.

Annual awards are then held to present Gold, Silver and Bronze awards to those companies that hit certain levels. Many companies support this scheme as they can advertise their score and any awards they earn and take advantage of the independent assessments to improve their business and training plans.

The companies registered with the CCS strive to minimise any negative impact that construction activity may have on neighbourhoods whilst trying to leave behind long-lasting benefits that enhance communities
