The Considerate
Constructors Scheme – the organisation established to improve the image of
construction – has announced the winners of its prestigious 2018 National Site

The Scheme’s National
Site Awards are one of the most distinguished accolades within the construction
industry. They recognise Scheme-registered sites that have demonstrated the
very highest level of consideration in respect of the community, environment
and workforce.
The 2018 National Site
Awards applied to registered sites that completed in 2017. Sites were eligible
to win the top accolade of ‘Most Considerate Site’ within the following six
‘project value bands’: Under £500k; £500k to <£1m; £1m to <£5m; £5m to
<£10m; £10m to <£50m; and £50m and over.
The awards ceremonies
welcomed over 3000 guests and took place at prestigious venues in Edinburgh,
London and Manchester from 9-27 April.
The Scheme presented
840 National Site Awards, out of a total of around 8000 eligible to win an
Award. In addition to the six Most Considerate Site Awards, there were 348
Bronze, 304 Silver and 159 Gold, as well as 23 Most Considerate Site
Runners-Up.
The 2018 National Site
Awards are particularly significant for the Scheme as they mark the first year
top-performing sites based in Ireland were eligible to win awards. These are
the first awards to follow the launch of Scheme registration in Ireland in 2017.
This year’s awards
also introduced special recognition for Ultra Sites, following the official
launch of Ultra Site registration earlier this year. Ultra Sites were
recognised for their outstanding commitment in collaborating with their supply
chains during the awards ceremonies. A separate awards ceremony will be held
for top performing Ultra Sites later this year.
Considerate
Constructors Scheme Chief Executive Edward Hardy said: “On behalf of the
Considerate Constructors Scheme, I would like to offer my congratulations to
all 2018 National Site Award winners.
“Winning a Scheme
National Site Award is a monumental achievement. To receive this top level of
industry recognition reflects how much effort and commitment award-winning
sites have made to push their standards, and those of the industry, to even
higher levels.
“I would also like to
offer my very special congratulations to the winners of the 2018 Most
Considerate Sites accolade, demonstrating the very best in considerate
construction and setting the bar incredibly high for the rest of the industry
to strive to achieve. I would also like to congratulate those sites recognised
for their commitment to the Ultra Site programme.
“These awards
recognise sites which are at the forefront of industry best practice and we
thank them, and all sites and companies registered with the Scheme, for their
continued commitment to improving the performance, image and reputation of our
industry.”
