Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) is a national, not-for-profit initiative helping construction deliver projects that reflect care, quality, and professionalism—on site, in the community, and for the environment.
Since 1997, we've worked with thousands of clients across the UK and Ireland who are committed to going beyond compliance and standing out for the right reasons.
When you specify CCS in your tenders, funding agreements, or planning conditions, you’re setting a clear expectation that your project will be delivered with integrity, transparency and care.
As a developer, investor, or public body, your responsibility goes far beyond delivery. You’re shaping communities and setting the tone for how construction behaves. CCS helps ensure your contractors do the same.
By making CCS a requirement, you:
✅ Reduce corporate and political reputational risk
✅ Align delivery with ESG, planning and social value goals
✅ Gain transparent insight into on-site behaviour and impact
✅ Demonstrate leadership and accountability to your stakeholders
We work with a broad range of organisations across all sectors including infrastructure, utilities, commercial, residential, environmental.
When you join CCS as a client, you’re pledging your commitment to responsible construction projects. You'll also gain:
