Industries we serve - Construction

The construction industry faces a complex compliance landscape, encompassing building codes, health and safety regulations (ISO 45001, CDM), environmental standards (ISO 14001), and statutory inspections (LOLER, PUWER, scaffolding, and temporary works). Compliance ensures that all construction activities are conducted safely, legally, and sustainably, from site preparation to project completion. It also covers contractor accreditation (such as Constructionline, SafeContractor) and supply chain due diligence. Construction firms that prioritise compliance reduce the risk of accidents, litigation, and project delays, while enhancing their reputation and eligibility for major contracts.
