BREEAM Recognised responsible construction management schemes
BREEAM UK New Construction, Non-domestic Buildings (United Kingdom), Technical Manual, SD5078: BREEAM UK New Construction 2018 3.0, published by BRE Global Limited, states that BREEAM Recognised responsible construction management schemes are:
‘...third party schemes evaluated by BRE Global for recognition under BREEAM. Refer to Guidance Note 33 available on the BREEAM website for further guidance on recognised schemes and the way in which they support compliance with these BREEAM criteria.
This is a list of existing schemes that we are currently aware of that may support the achievement of the responsible construction management criteria:
- Considerate Constructors Scheme: The Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) is a national initiative set up by the UK construction industry to improve its image. The scheme is a self-financing, independent organisation owned by the Construction Umbrella Bodies (Holdings) Ltd (made up of the Construction Products Association and the Construction Industry Council). Sites and companies that register with the scheme sign up and are monitored against a Code of Considerate Practice, designed to encourage best practice beyond statutory requirements.
- Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme: The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) is a voluntary accreditation scheme that promotes best practice for commercial vehicle operators. FORS encompasses all aspects of safety, efficiency, and environmental protection by encouraging and training fleet operators to measure, monitor and improve performance. FORS provides accreditation pathways for operators of any type, and for those organisations that award contracts and specify transport requirements.'
