Considerate Constructors Scheme
The Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) is designed to help the construction industry improve its image. We do this by supporting and encouraging the industry to raise its standards and build trust across the communities impacted by its work.
Each year, thousands of construction sites sign-up to the Scheme. By doing so, they commit to our Code of Considerate Practice, which focuses on three key areas: respecting the community; caring for the environment; and valuing the workforce. Our independent monitoring benchmarks how well these sites are performing in these areas.
Creating a healthy built environment for the communities impacted by construction activity, reducing the environmental impact of construction, and supporting the wellbeing of those working in the industry are a core part of our Code.
The Scheme also provides services for the public. Our dedicated public support team can assist anyone who has a concern or feedback about construction activity. The team liaises between contractors and the public and works towards finding a resolution to the latter’s concerns.
