The outlook in the construction industry is optimistic. With support from the UK government, the building industry may even have the potential to stimulate the economy and play a leading role in delivering growth*. Make sure you’re well placed to build your own business success in this improving environment by dealing with the following business challenges:
Show compliance
Legislation across the construction industry requires you to show that your products meet required standards, such as managing workplace health and safety and addressing your impact on the environment. Our standards and training can help you show compliance, reducing your chances of legal action and boosting your productivity:
- OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management helps you manage health and safety risk
- CE Marking and Kitemark certification shows that your products meet required standards
- ISO 14001 Environmental Management helps you manage your impact on the environment
- ISO 50001 Energy Management helps you save energy, cut costs and meet environmental requirements.
Win tenders
As demand increases, so should the number of tender opportunities – but tendering has become much more complex and you may struggle with their prescriptive frameworks. We can help you respond to requirements and boost your chances to win new projects, either directly as a construction business or as part of a supply chain.
- CE Marking and Kitemark certification shows that your products meet required standards
- ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management helps you win tenders by showing you protect commercially sensitive information.
Streamlining procurement
Procurement is often the first point where contractor and client engagement breaks down**. An essential part of any project, internal struggles and external impacts can arise from a complex procurement process. Our standards and related training courses help you address these challenges and build your business success:
- ISO 9001 Quality Management helps you streamline your procurement and business processes
- Entropy Software helps you monitor performance and maximise opportunities for improvement.
