CIOB has produced a Technical Information Sheet to assist its SME membership base with BS 99001: Built Environment Quality Management.

The TIS explains quality planning and the standards and legislation. The new standard replaces ISO 9001 and is welcomed by the industry but CIOB was aware that small businesses would need support. 

“This was the driver for us to produce this Technical Information Sheet to help our SMEs and micro companies who do not have a specialist quality planning department to integrate more quality planning in projects, understand and identify risks to take actions,” said Dr Gina Al-Talal, head of technical and standards development at CIOB.

CIOB’s construction quality framework aims to raise awareness of the factors influencing quality management for projects.
