Considerate Contractors

By being part of the considerate constructors’ scheme we commit to being considerate neighbours, as well as Clean, Respectful, Safe, Environmentally Conscious, Responsible and Accountable.

Considerate
All work is carried out with positive consideration to the needs of traders and businesses, site personnel and visitors, and the general public. Special attention is to be given to the needs of those with sight, hearing and mobility difficulties.

Environment
Noise from construction operations and all other sources is kept to a minimum at all times. Efforts are made to select and use local resources wherever possible. Attention is paid to waste management and the avoidance of pollution. Recycling and the use of recycled materials is encouraged.

Cleanliness
Our working sites are kept clean and in good order at all times. Safety barriers, lights and warning signs are maintained in a clean and safe condition. Surplus materials and rubbish is not allowed to accumulate on the site or spill over into the surroundings. Dirt and dust from construction operations is kept to a minimum.

Good Neighbour
General information regarding the Scheme is provided for all neighbours affected by the work. Full and regular communication with neighbours, including adjacent traders and businesses, regarding programming and site activities is maintained from pre-start to completion.

Respectful
Respectable and safe standards of dress is maintained at all times. Lewd or derogatory behaviour and language will not be tolerated under threat of severe disciplinary action. Pride in the management and appearance of the site and the surrounding environment will be shown at all times.

Safe
Construction operations and site vehicle movements are carried out with care and consideration for the safety of site personnel, visitors and the general public. No building activity should be a security risk to others.

Responsible
Ensure that everyone associated with the site understands implements and complies with our codes and ethics.

Accountable
The Considerate Constructors Scheme poster is displayed where clearly visible to the general public. A site’s contact details should be obvious to anyone affected by its activities.
