−	The Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) is a national initiative set up by the construction industry to improve its image. The Code of Considerate Practice focuses on construction activities which impact the general public, workforce and the environment and requires those registered ~~site~~, companies and suppliers to show a commitment to care about appearance, respect the community, protect the environment, secure everyone's safety and value their workforce. Since its introduction in 1997, the scheme has helped ensure ~~that~~ construction sites are ~~now~~ managed in an environmentally and socially considerate, responsible and accountable manner and has also aided improving ~~working~~ conditions and facilities for those working on site.	+	The Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) is a national initiative set up by the construction industry to improve its image.

	Within the Site Monitor's Report there will be a summary under each section which will include areas where improvements can be made. The first Monitor's Report can therefore be very useful for ensuring that the project is on track for achieving the score required or identifying where actions are required. The BREEAM credits are awarded at PC stage, based on the final Monitor's Report and Certificate of Compliance.

		+	It is no longer an explicit requirement to sign up to the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS), but if two or more credits (Exemplary) are sought, then this is still the easiest route to compliance, although additional requirements over and above the CCS are now needed.
		+
		+	The CCS Scoring has been updated for 2019, the checklist is now scored out of 45, with a maximum of 9 points per category. An additional discretional 5 points are available to reward sites, companies or suppliers who have developed innovative ways of addressing Scheme expectations.
		+
		+	To achieve 1 credit will require the completion of items a, d, f, g, h, j, n, o and r of Table 1 of BREEAM Guidance Note GN33, (Man03: Table 4.1 within Technical Manual (TM) version SD5078 Issue 2.0) except for item ‘g’ these will all be covered by the CCS 'Certificate of Compliance'.
		+
		+	Item 'g' is: 'Ensure clear and safe access in and around buildings/ homes at the point of handover'.
		+
		+	To achieve 2 credits will require the achievement of six additional items within Table 1 of GN33 (Table 4.1 of the TM) from items b, c, e, i, k, l, m, p and q. Except for 'p' and 'q' these will be covered by the CCS 'Performance Beyond Compliance'.
		+
		+	Item ‘p’ is: The fleet operators undertakes driver training and awareness to promote safety within the development footprint and off site.
		+
		+	Item ‘q’ is: The fleet operators, captures and investigates any road accidents, incidents and near misses and reports them back to the principal contractor. The principal contractor analyses these items.
		+

		+	Considerate Constructors Scheme Update 2019
		+
		+	From the 1st January 2019, the Considerate Constructors Scheme has updated its scoring methodology as follows:
		+
		+	The highest achievable score for sites, companies and suppliers will still be 50 but this will now be made up from two distinct scores.
		+
		+	From the monitoring visit assessing performance against the Scheme’s [https://www.ccscheme.org.uk/site-registration/site-code-of-practice-site-reg/ Code of Considerate Practice], the highest score achievable will be 45 – a maximum of 9 points per category – meaning the site, company or supplier is performing to exceptional standards across the five sections.
		+
		+	An additional 5 points are then available, at the discretion of the Scheme, to reward those sites, companies or suppliers who have developed innovative ways of addressing Scheme expectations.
		+
		+	Following the final monitoring visit to a registered site, company or supplier, certificates are issued dependant on the scores across the five sections of the Monitor’s Site Report. Certificates of Compliance are awarded to those who have scored 5 or more in each of the sections, while a Certificate of Performance Beyond Compliance is awarded to those scoring 7 or more in each of the five areas.
		+
		+	New for the 2019 is a Certificate of Excellence which will be awarded to sites, companies and suppliers who score 8 or more points in each of the five sections of the Monitor’s Site Report.

		+	Further Guidance

	The site should be registered under the Considerate Constructors Scheme prior to any works commencing on site and therefore at this stage, proof of registration can be requested.
