Construction accounts for 7% of the UKs GDP and covers a wide range of industries including civil engineering contracting, ground works, structural engineering, architecture, demolition, design & build, building renovation & fitout and much more...
The construction sector is typified by high compliance requirements as clients seek assurance that the work undertaken will be conducted safely, to a high quality and with minimal adverse impact on the environment. Often this involves certifications in ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 but lately has been including 27001 for some companies.
Demands on business involved in construction are high - at 2SB we understand the challenges of mobile workforces, high risk environments, tight resources and the management of suppliers & subcontractors. We will help you build a robust but flexible way of managing these elements of your business so you can consistently deliver projects and maintain a notable reputation.
We see ISO 9001 Certification as a business management system for construction companies. It should form the bedrock of your business and ensure that you are able to get on with what you do best.
Some typical benefits that our clients have experienced are:
Construction has traditionally had a poor image with regards to the environment, but is working harder than almost any other to turn this around. Clients, whether the end user or principal contractor, place high value on businesses that can demonstrate their environmental credentials, and there is no better way to do this than by gaining an ISO 14001 certification.
Clients we have worked with have reported the following benefits:
Health & Safety should be considered by all businesses to be their number one priority. ISO 45001 (and OHSAS 18001) are both standards that significantly improve a business's control over its environment, allowing employees to feel more valued, engaged and productive - returning home safely each day. The UK is a world leader in this field and we work with our clients to ensure that they have the controls they need to properly look after their staff, visitors and the public.
