Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) is a national, not-for-profit initiative helping local authorities raise construction standards, protect communities, and align development with long-term social and environmental goals.
Since 1997, we've supported thousands of projects the UK and Ireland to go beyond compliance and stand out for the right reasons.
We work in partnership with planning and procurement teams to ensure construction activity reflects your borough’s values, from Net Zero and social value to public safety and workforce wellbeing.
Our work supports local authorities in meeting growing expectations around social value, environmental responsibility, and community engagement. This ensures the core priorities for local authorities are aligned with modern ESG requirements.
By identifying risks early and encouraging proactive action, our approach reduces delays, quality issues, and disruption. This leads to smoother project delivery, greater public confidence, and long-term value for communities.
Through regular site visits and clear performance feedback, we promote continuous improvement across the sector, helping ensure developments in your borough meet the highest standards of practice.

CCS registration promotes community-focused, low-disruption building practices. Contractors are held to a standard the public can see and trust.
Regular, independent site monitoring identifies issues early, reducing reputational and operational risk.
Require CCS for all contractors to ensure alignment with your policies, ESG goals, and regulatory obligations.
Our Code of Considerate Practice sets a clear benchmark for environmental responsibility, safety, and workforce care.
Track and compare contractor performance using independent Monitor scores and reports.
Add a trusted external layer to procurement and project oversight.
