Considerate Contractors

Our Code of Practice concerning the Considerate Contractors Scheme

Considerate
All work will be 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 will be kept to a minimum at all times. Efforts will be made to select and use local resources wherever possible. Attention will be paid to waste management and the avoidance of pollution. Recycling and the use of recycled materials will be undertaken.
 
Cleanliness
The working site will be kept clean and in good order at all times. Safety barriers, lights and warning signs will be maintained in a clean and safe condition. Surplus materials and rubbish will not be allowed to accumulate on the site or spill over into the surroundings. Dirt and dust from construction operations will be kept to a minimum.
 
Good Neighbour
General information regarding the Scheme will be provided for all neighbours affected by the work. Full and regular communication with neighbours, including adjacent traders and businesses, regarding programming and site activities will be maintained from pre-start to completion.

Respectful
Respectable and safe standards of dress will be 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. Operatives are given on-going instruction on dealing with the general public.
 
Safe
Construction operations and site vehicle movements will be carried out with care and consideration for the safety of site personnel, visitors and the general public. No building activity will ever be a security risk to others.
 
Responsible
We will ensure that everyone associated with the site understands, implements and complies with this code.
 
Accountable
The Considerate Constructors Scheme poster will be displayed where clearly visible to the general public. Our site’s contact details will be obvious to anyone affected by its activities.
