The new British Standard focussing on the application of the international quality management standard BS ISO 9001:2015 in the built environment was released in July 2022.

The standard Is intended to be used alongside ISO 9001:201 in the UK construction sector and has specific requirements for the built environment sector. It sets out additional requirements based on the existing ISO 9001 quality management system requirements.

BS9001:2022 has been written for the whole sector, covering; structural engineers, skilled tradespeople (e.g. bricklayers, carpenters and roofers) project managers, raw material suppliers (cement, concrete, timber etc) and surveyors. It takes into account decommissioning and recycling experts, and manufacturers who prefabricate for the industry.

QSBC & RK Associates Ltd will be offering consultation services to guide you through the certification process in this standard. For more information please contact us by emailing ruth@rkauditing.co.uk or by phoning 07931 596290.
