Green and Gracious Builder Scheme (GGBS)

Overview

Our Green and Gracious Builder Scheme (GGBS) consultancy services support builders and contractors in adopting structured practices for environmentally responsible and considerate construction site management.

CCIS works closely with project teams to translate GGBS requirements into practical site‑level controls, helping organisations improve environmental performance, site discipline, and stakeholder confidence through consistent implementation and clear records.

What is GGBS?

The Green and Gracious Builder Scheme (GGBS) is a framework that promotes good construction practices focused on environmental responsibility and considerate site management.

GGBS emphasises how construction activities are planned, managed, and controlled on site, encouraging disciplined housekeeping, environmental protection measures, and practices that minimise impact on surrounding stakeholders. The scheme supports organisations in embedding responsible construction practices into daily site operations rather than relying on ad‑hoc controls.

Benefits of GGBS

Implementing GGBS helps organisations improve consistency and discipline in construction site management while strengthening environmental and considerate work practices.

Organisations benefit from clearer site controls, improved housekeeping standards, and better coordination among site personnel. GGBS also supports stronger stakeholder confidence by demonstrating a structured and responsible approach to managing construction activities, reducing the likelihood of avoidable site issues and reinforcing good environmental practices across projects.

Our Consultancy Approach

At CCIS, we provide practical and structured consultancy services tailored to your organisation’s size, industry, and operational context.

Our consultancy covers the full lifecycle of implementation, including an initial gap analysis to understand current practices, support for management system design and documentation, guidance on implementation and record‑keeping processes, practical training and awareness for relevant personnel, internal audit support, and assistance in preparing for certification or assessment.

We continue to support organisations beyond certification to help ensure management systems remain effective, compliant, and audit‑ready as business needs and requirements evolve. Our focus is on effective implementation and long‑term sustainability, not documentation created solely for audit purposes.

Why Choose CCIS?

CCIS is an established consultancy firm with a long‑term focus on building practical and sustainable management systems. Our approach emphasises real‑world implementation, strong project control, and ongoing support-helping organisations achieve certification with systems they can confidently maintain over time.

• Established consultancy firm since 1992, with over 30 years of experience
• Practical “write what you do, do what you write” implementation approach
• Strong project management to ensure on‑time certification
• Focus on building systems your team can understand, implement, and maintain
• Long‑term support beyond certification, not short‑term consultancy

Ongoing After‑Sales Support & Maintenance

Certification is not the end of the journey. As business needs, regulatory expectations, and organisational scope evolve, ongoing support is essential to ensure management systems remain effective and relevant.

Our after‑sales support helps organisations maintain compliance, effectiveness, and audit readiness over time. This includes support for surveillance and re‑certification audits, assistance in addressing audit findings and corrective actions, updates to management systems when business processes or scope change, and ongoing advisory support to drive continual improvement.

We work with organisations as a long‑term partner, supporting the sustainability of management systems beyond initial certification rather than providing one‑off consultancy.
