Urban Union Joins Considerate Constructors Scheme

Urban Union has become the latest member to join the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS).

The scheme aims to help improve the image and reputation of the construction sector by employing best industry practices, such as adhering to the Code of Considerate Practice.

Urban Union, a joint venture (JV) company which delivers regeneration projects across Scotland, has committed to encouraging compliance across all aspects of the scheme's Code on all its registered sites and companies.

Neil McKay, Managing Director, said: "We are delighted to be a Client Partner of the Considerate Constructors Scheme. Urban Union works predominantly in the regeneration sector and it is vital to us to proactively improve and enhance the communities in which we work. The Considerate Constructors Scheme is therefore a great way for us to demonstrate our commitment to the community and positively improve the image of construction at the same time."

Every construction client has an extremely important role to play in helping to improve the image of the industry. By becoming a Client Partner of the Scheme, Urban Union is clearly demonstrating its dedication to raising standards in collaboration with its contractors and the supply chain.

"Client Partner registered sites consistently perform to a higher standard than other Scheme-registered sites, further underlining the positive impact this Partnership has on improving the image of the industry."
