Balfour Beatty, Wates Residential and Laing O’Rourke projects are among the winners of this year’s Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) National Site Awards.
The awards recognise the highest-performing construction sites in the UK and Ireland against CCS’s Code of Considerate Practice.
The sites are independently audited by monitors who score how considerate they are towards their local community, their workforce and the environment.
Of the 5,500-plus eligible sites, the following five construction projects received the Most Considerate Site of 2024 Award across four categories:
- Under £5m category Balfour Beatty’s Tyn-y-Bryn Bridge in Tonyrefail.
- £5m to £50m category Wates Residential’s Clements-Hounslow Infill in London, and Southsea Coastal Scheme – Frontage 4 in Portsmouth by VolkerStevin and Boskalis Westminster.
- £50m to £100m category Eden Grove in Staines-upon-Thames by Berkeley Homes.
- Over £100m category NTT LON1 Phase 2 works in London by Laing O’Rourke.
‘Ultra Sites’
CCS also recognised 552 bronze, 121 silver and 66 gold award winners. The full list can be accessed here.
The awards have been reintroduced this year after a four-year break and they recognise site performance recorded during 2023.
CCS also recognised the commitment made by a small number of construction projects that chose to become ‘Ultra Sites’ – the scheme’s highest and most demanding level of registration for those in the industry, which involves additional monitoring and being ‘considerate’ beyond a site.
Amit Oberoi, CCS’s executive chairman, said: “Winning a CCS National Site Award is the mark of the highest levels of performance in the three areas of our Code of Considerate Practice: Respect the Community, Care for the Environment, Value the Workforce.
“Our Awards are very selective, and the bar was extremely high. Only the top-performing sites of the UK have received an award.”
