A new resource for measuring the social value created through construction has been launched as Building Social Value (BSV), developed by the Considerate Constructors Scheme, will provide the means for a third party to evaluate the social value produced by construction sites.
The scheme entails monitors from the Scheme visiting building sites and recording the social value created using the Social Value Monitoring Checklist, from which they will then write up a BSV report based on their findings.
The initiative arises from the terms of the Social Value Act 2013 which requires industry actors to focus on how they create social value.
