Considerate
Constructors Scheme Chief Executive Edward Hardy said: “The Scheme’s National
Awards programme has grown beyond recognition since their launch back in 1998,
to become one of the most highly respected industry accolades in construction.
They are held in such high regard that, achieving an Award at a certain level
is now often a stipulation of tender contracts.
“The growth of the
National Site Awards year-on-year reflects the expansion of the construction
industry’s commitment to raise standards in considerate construction across an
ever increasing number of sites throughout the UK and Ireland.
“This year’s
award-winning sites have all demonstrated a relentless commitment to help
improve the image of our industry. They have taken this commitment to new
levels and we look forward to recognising their success at the upcoming 2018
National Site Awards.”
