ULTRA SITES ARE TRAILBLAZERS

The Considerate Constructors Scheme has officially launched Ultra Site registration , following a 24-month pilot with principal contractors and industry clients .
The most committed contractors and their supply chains across the UK and Ireland can now achieve Ultra Site status - the highest level of attainment within the Considerate Constructors Scheme - the organisation established to improve the image of construction .
Ultra Sites herald a new era in raising the considerate credentials of construction sites and their supply chains , with the ultimate objective to achieve integration of a contractor ’ s supply chain to meet and exceed the Scheme ’ s Code of Considerate Practice .
The ability for the principal contractors and their clients to now apply and be recognised as Ultra Sites , on specific construction projects , follows an extensive 24-month pilot with a consortium of some of the country ’ s leading contractors and industry clients .
They are :
• A14 Integrated Delivery Team , Highways England - Ultra Site : A14 Cambridge-Huntingdon Upgrade
• Canary Wharf Contractors ’ Limited - Ultra Site : Southbank Place , London
• Galliford Try Partnerships South East - Ultra Site : Protheroe House , London
• Interserve - Ultra Site : Project Beagle , Birmingham
• Kier Construction - Ultra Site : Sports Park 2 , Pontypridd
• Mulalley & Company Ltd - Ultra Site : Haringey Major Works , London - Ultra Site : Chauncy Residential Development , Ware
• R G Carter - Ultra Site : UEA Blackdale Development , Norwich

• Robertson Construction Group - Ultra Site : Aberdeen Exhibition & Conference Centre ( AECC ), Aberdeen
• Tarmac - Ultra Site : Highways Partnering Agreement , Term Service Contract , Nottinghamshire
• Willmott Partnership Homes - Ultra Site : Trent Basin , Nottingham
These Ultra Sites represent the absolute pinnacle of achievement through contractors , clients and their supply chains collaborating on every level to demonstrate the highest standards of considerate construction , in line with the Scheme ’ s Code of Considerate Practice .
Some Ultra Sites have provided case studies outlining their involvement in the pilot and how commitment to greater collaboration with the supply chain has created multiple benefits for these highest performing sites . Case studies also include a number of key insights from those within the supply chain and the client .
Considerate Constructors Scheme Chief Executive Edward Hardy said : “ The Scheme is now being inundated with requests from principal contractors and clients of construction projects to commit to be an Ultra Site . We are delighted with this enthusiasm from the industry and we look forward to showcasing how more Ultra Sites across the UK
and Ireland are taking considerate construction to the next level .”
