Architecture and Engineering
Architects and engineers work in an industry where compliance to requirements matters and can make or break the success of a project.
At Compliance Council, we have worked with a wide range of architect and engineering firms of all scopes and sizes.
Architects and engineers generally engage Compliance Council to assist with their ISO certification and management system journey due to:
- Meeting a tender or procurement requirement for government work.
- Meeting requirement of ISO 9001:2015 or ISO 55001:2014 to become a Technically Assured Organisation (TAO) for TfNSW projects.
- Review their existing legacy management system that is outdated and is no longer fit for purpose.
Some key outcomes we often see when working with architects and engineers are:
- Development of Design as a Service procedure i.e. how the organisation considers client requirements, how to manage the design service through feasibility and detailed design stages with quality assurance gates throughout, how to submit design and manage any changes as result of client feedback.
- Improved ability in onboarding and managing consultants who contribute to the design or engineering service.
- Improved interface and communication management.
- Improved ability to determine and manage client, legal and other requirements relevant to the design or engineering service.
- Improving the ability for the organisation to scale.
- Improving their quality assurance processes when managing a design, engineering brief or other similar activity to minimise issues and improve customer satisfaction.
Compliance Council can develop a bespoke management system for architects and engineering firms and assist manage the organisation through the ISO certification process and other prequalification requirements such as TAO / AEO, SCM 1191, SCM 10611 and other state or territory-based schemes.
Clients we've worked with:
- Bates Smart
- ST Engineering
- Moir Landscape Architects
"We recognised an opportunity to expand our business scope and service a more diverse client base by attaining certification in ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. We engaged the Compliance Council to develop and implement our HSEQ management system to achieve this.
From the outset, the Compliance Council demonstrated a deep commitment to our objectives, and we are delighted with the outcome and timeframe in which it was achieved. The team facilitated process and risk management workshops, engaging with key personnel during on-site visits. This collaborative approach ensured our management system met the rigorous standards of ISO certifications and seamlessly integrated with our existing workflows.
Compliance Council exhibited the highest professionalism and support throughout the process. Their knowledge and expertise were evident in every interaction, making what could have been a complex undertaking remarkably straightforward.
We are happy to recommend the Compliance Council to other professional services and design firms seeking a userfriendly management system and requiring assistance with the ISO certification process. Working with the Compliance Council was a strategic decision and a partnership that has enhanced our business capabilities.”
