In response to the 2026 update to the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS), the equivalent CCS score requirements for achieving credits are set out in the orange columns of the table below. Credits will be awarded based on the site’s average performance across all visits, as reported on the final certificate.
Where a project has received site inspections under both the previous and updated versions of the CCS scheme, the higher score may be used to determine credit achievement. For example, where a project achieved an Excellent rating under the 2022 CCS scheme but a Very Good rating under the 2026 CCS scheme, the higher (Excellent) rating can be used.
This approach ensures that projects are not disadvantaged during the transition between CCS versions.
Where using the 2022 CCS Scheme score, please refer to Table 2 of GN33 for the mapping of the CCS score against the Responsible Construction Management Checklist (items a–s), and provide any additional evidence as required (e.g. for items g, p and q for the exemplary credit).
When using the 2026 CCS scheme score, credits may be awarded based on the CCS score alone, in line with the table below.
