Sites, companies and suppliers register with the Scheme and commit to adhere to a Code of Considerate Practice - Care about Appearance, Respect the Community, Protect the Environment, Secure everyone’s Safety and Value their Workforce – which is verified through site monitoring. Scheme materials are displayed to demonstrate commitment to considerate construction and to provide the public with an effective complaints/comments system

The Scheme is open to construction sites, companies and suppliers of all types and size and for every type of construction activity, with many companies and clients automatically registering all their work as company policy. When? Sites should be registered prior to any construction activity, including any demolition work. Companies and suppliers can register at any time.

How does it work? Site Company Supplier Registration Registration

Ultra Site An Ultra Site commits to register its site, companies and entire supply chain with the Scheme. Benefits: greater collaboration with the whole supply chain; sharing best practice; regular and consistent communication; better training, support and facilities for the workforce. Each registered company and supplier will be monitored individually so they can improve upon their own specific areas, which in turn, will collectively improve the whole site. Additional monitoring and assistance is available to Ultra Sites.
