Construction

The Construction industry covers a wide range of specialty areas, including architecture, planning, building works, refurbishment, and building maintenance, with various standards and regulations applicable to each. Since the early 1990's, organizations involved in construction have been embracing the philosophies of quality and fit for purpose. By implementing Quality Management Systems compliant to ISO 9001, they have proven that they manage and are in control of their processes.

The following are of particular concern to the Construction industry:

Good Communication:

Good communication between an organization, its customers, and its suppliers, is crucial to ensure that the services being provided are to the correct requirements. Further, maintaining an accurate record of these communications can be invaluable if a dispute arises.

Equipment Control:

Control of equipment used is critical, not only to ensure that equipment is maintained and, where necessary, calibrated, but most importantly that the equipment is safe for the user, anyone in the vicinity of the equipment, and the environment. Using a system that can automatically produce a schedule of maintenance and calibration helps ensure that the equipment is well-maintained and safe for use.

Injury Risk:

The risk of injury in the construction industry is ever-present. Even after precautions are taken, accidents can happen. These accidents need to be recorded and analyzed, allowing appropriate action to be taken to prevent recurrence.

Document Control:

Control of documents, procedures, and other records is typically essential to ensure consistent application of requirements. When any such document, procedures, or records are revised, it can be a complex task to ensure all users are updated quickly, especially when the organization is multi-site. Considerable hours and resources can be wasted chasing confirmation of receipt and implementation. A Document Control system is the solution.
