THE national winners of the most considerate construction sites in the UK and Ireland have been crowned following ceremonies in Edinburgh, London and Manchester.
The Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) National Site Awards recognise the top-performing sites against the Scheme’s Code of Considerate Practice, which monitors how considerate the site is being towards their community, environment and workforce.
The 2019 winners of the Most Considerate Site title are as follows:
- Carlisle Gas Holder Demolition Project – Northern Gas Networks (project value under £500k)
- Columbia Threadneedle Property Investments – Overbury plc (project value £500k to <£1m)

In addition to the six Most Considerate Site Award winners, there were 336 Bronze, 252 Silver and 152 Gold accolades awarded, as well as 18 Most Considerate Site Runners-Up.
CCS chief executive Edward Hardy said, “Congratulations to all the 2019 National Site Award winners. Each award-winning site should be extremely proud of receiving this prestigious industry accolade, which recognises their invaluable contribution to improving the image of construction. Special congratulations must go to the highest performing construction sites winning the coveted title of ‘Most Considerate Site 2019’, which represent the very best of the construction industry in how they have raised their standards of considerate construction to the highest levels.
“Year-on-year, the Scheme places a higher level of expectation for the 7000 plus construction sites typically registered with the Scheme at any time. We work with sites to push the boundaries of what is achievable and this year’s accomplishments by sites have certainly not disappointed, with over 764 sites receiving National Site Award recognition.
“We are always amazed by the increasing levels of performance on site across the country, and we look forward to performance continuing to increase through next year and beyond.”
