The Considerate Constructors Scheme

The new Birchway Eco-Community was constructed in line with ‘The Considerate Constructors Scheme’, a national initiative created by the construction industry designed to ensure construction sites are run in a professional and considerate manner.

All sites registered with the Scheme are monitored by an experienced industry expert to assess their performance against the eight point Code of Considerate Practice which includes the categories Considerate, Environment, Cleanliness, Good Neighbour, Respectful, Safe, Responsible and Accountable.

The three main areas that the Scheme’s Code covers are:

The environment
Registered sites should do all they can to reduce any negative effect they have on the environment. They should work in an environmentally conscious, sustainable manner.

The workforce
Registered sites should provide clean, appropriate facilities for those who work on them. Facilities should be comparable to any other working environment.

The general public
Registered sites should do all they can to reduce any negative impact they may have on the area in which they are working. Sites should aim to leave a positive impression on those they affect.
