Peter Kingdon, Chairman, Considerate Constructors Scheme

“While the finished structure is the showcase for the industry, the construction site reveals the state of industry for good or for bad. Those who manage them must be sensitive to the local environment. They must minimise any disturbance in terms of noise, dust and dirt caused by some construction sites to the immediate neighbourhood.
I've seen good and bad examples over the years and good management makes an enormous difference. The increasing number of sites badged with the Considerate Constructors Scheme logo is evidence of the construction industry’s commitment to improving its public image by having well run sites, being a good neighbour and respecting its workforce.
The Considerate Constructors’ Scheme Awards give further recognition of the commitment and professionalism of participating contractors to improve the appearance and impact of sites they manage and I offer my congratulations to all the winners in all categories.”
The Rt Hon Alun Michael MP, Construction Minister

“I firmly believe that the Considerate Constructors Scheme has and continues to make a significant contribution to ensuring that high standards are upheld and the hard work of site teams is correctly portrayed to clients and the public.”
Michael Levack, Chief Executive of Scottish Building

“I am delighted to be associated with this event. All too often, as a member of the Health and Safety Commission, I have to come to terms with the bad news stories emanating from construction - the fatalities, the accidents and near misses, the abuses and the dodges.
It is reassuring therefore to see that many, many, employers are considerate and care about the industry, the employees and the environment.
This is a vibrant and exiting industry. It can become an even safer industry if more companies sign up for the Scheme.
I would like to extend the HSC’s congratulations to all those involved in this worthwhile venture."
Danny Carrigan, Health & Safety Commissioner

 'All too often we only hear of matters which tarnish the reputation of the construction industry. The Considerate Constructors Awards redress the imbalance, sending out the powerful message: construction sites are run professionally.'
Peter Commins, Chairman, Construction Confederation

I was delighted to be asked to present an Award at the 2006 Considerate Constructors Scheme National Awards, and have followed with great interest the tremendous progress the Scheme has made since I was first involved with it in 1997. I am particularly pleased that it emphasises recycling and the efficient use of materials on site, as this is an area where there is real scope for the industry to improve its sustainability by reducing waste and conserving natural resources.
Jennie Price, Chief Executive, WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme)
