A Considerate Constructor indeed!

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

Following on from our first Considerate Constructor site visit in May where we scored an impressive 37 out of 40 (!), we have our second visit this Thursday 13 September 2012.

Peter Waring MCIOB is due to visit site once again to see what new unique and exceptional initiatives we have in place to improve the site.

Wates are a proud associate of the CCS and we work extremely hard to ensure our sites represent our core values of respect, integrity and responsibility.

Watch this space for some feedback from the visit.
