The Considerate Constructors Scheme to Host 2016 National Site Awards

Considerate Constructors prepare for 2016 National Site Awards at ceremonies throughout the UK this month.

The Considerate Constructors Scheme – the national Scheme which works to improve the image of the construction industry, will be hosting ceremonies between 11-29 April, to celebrate top-performing registered sites. The events are in Edinburgh, Liverpool and Manchester.

The scheme rewards top registered construction sites across the UK, which have demonstrated the highest level of considerate construction towards the public, the workforce and the environment.

Over 3500 guests from construction sites of all different sizes will be attending the ceremonies.

This year’s National Site Awards apply to registered sites that completed in 2015.

‘Value Bands’ are being introduced to enable sites to be assessed based on their project value. The bands are: Less than £500k; £500k to <£5m; £5m to <£10m; £10m and over.

Over 900 sites have been selected to win Bronze, Silver or Gold Awards, with the Gold Award winner per value band given the title of “Most Considerate Site 2016”. All shortlisted sites for this will receive Runner-up Awards.

Chairman of the Considerate Constructors Scheme Mike Petter commented: “The Considerate Constructors Scheme is privileged to be honouring top performing sites at the upcoming 2016 National Site Awards.

“Award-winning sites have demonstrated exceptionally high levels of best practice in meeting and exceeding the Scheme’s Code of Considerate Practice. This year is the largest-ever awards to date – a true testament to the outstanding achievements being made by Scheme registered sites across the UK”.

A host of leading industry figures presenting at each award ceremony include Chris Blythe, Chief Executive, the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB); James Wates, Chairman, Construction Industry Training Board (CITB); John Slaughter, Director of External Affairs, Home Builders Federation (HBF); Paul Everall, Chief Executive, Local Authority Building Control (LABC); Bill Hill, Chief Executive, Lighthouse Club; Simon Carr, National Chair, National Federation of Builders (NFB); Willie Watt, President, the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland and Peter Simpson, Director of Partnerships, Which?
