The Considerate Constructors Scheme is the national initiative, set up by the construction industry, to improve its image.

Sites that register with the Scheme sign up and are monitored against a Code of Considerate Practice, designed to encourage best practice beyond statutory requirements.

The Scheme is concerned about any area of construction activity that may have a direct or indirect impact on the image of the industry as a whole. The main areas of concern fall into three main categories: the environment, the workforce and the general public.

The very best performing sites are recognised with Annual National Awards.
