CPD: Raising the Bar on Delivering Quality in Construction – An update
9 March, 5.30-8pm, Reading
Come and meet Caroline Gumble, CEO of CIOB, and attend this presentation delivered by Professor Roger Flanagan, past president of CIOB.
The industry is facing more legislation, regulations, codes and standards, with the need for compliance and conformance.
The new BS 99001:2022 is specific to the built environment with requirements for the industry to deliver quality projects. It supplements ISO 9001:2015. Ignorance of a standard is not a defence if something goes wrong.
Quality impacts every aspect of an enterprise: safety, profitability, reputation, repeat business, and liability. This talk will look at the issues in quality planning on projects, with some of the requirements in BS 99001:2022.
