Certification to Built Environment Quality Management (BS 99001) demonstrates updated compliance requirements alongside sector-wide improvements.
“Quality underpins absolutely everything we do and our BSI certification to BS 99001 is very much in line with this core principle.”
Each of the business units delivers quality projects as well as providing specialist skills, plant and equipment — cementing VolkerWessels' position as a significant multi-disciplinary civil engineering and construction group.
VolkerWessels UK had already achieved certification to the iconic quality management standard, ISO 9001. However, with quality becoming an increasingly high priority for the construction industry, the organization wanted to go further by focusing more closely on areas of quality specific to the sector. This included meeting the highest standards of project management.
Certification to Built Environment Quality Management (BS 99001:2022) was developed to help the sector implement the requirements of the new Building Safety Act, which became UK law in April 2022. It was formed in conjunction with industry leaders to supply extra sector-specific project management quality system requirements. VolkerWessels UK underwent a thorough independent assessment to become the first organization in the world to achieve certification to the new standard.
Volkerwessels UK's commitment to certification has accelerated its progress and helped them deliver their quality management strategy.
