Construction Companies and ISO 9001
Certification
2
What is ISO 9001 Certification?
  • ISO 9001 is a Quality Management System built on
    seven important principles that are the
    foundation for ongoing performance improvement
    and organizational excellence. These seven
    principles create an organizational focus that
    includes
  • Being customer focused
  • Finds and nourishes leadership
  • Rich engagement of people

3
  • Using a process approach to project management
  • Continual improvement of processes and
    workmanship
  • Decisions that are based on evidence and metrics
  • A high degree of relationship management

4
What are the Benefits of ISO 9001 Certification?
  • When your construction business holds an ISO 9001
    certification your firm enjoys many benefits
    including
  • The ability to bid on government contracts at all
    levels
  • Gives you independent feedback on how you
    implemented your ISO 9001 program
  • Gives your construction company world-renowned
    recognition of your management processes to
    architects, project owners, subcontractors, and
    other external stakeholders.
  • ISO 9001 certification tells your customers that
    your services are of high-quality and gains their
    confidence
  • Gives you a competitive edge for marketing
    purposes

5
Steps for Ensuring a Smooth ISO 9001
Certification Process for Your Construction
Business
  • The ISO 9001 Certification Process is dependent
    on certain steps being completed. Lets take a
    closer look at these steps.
  • Planning
  • Leadership
  • Employee Involvement
  • Ongoing Communication
  • Keep Track of Your Key Performance Indicators
  • Get Software to Support You

  • Planning
  • A common denominator in the failure of many
    companies to obtain certification is the lack of
    planning or no planning at all. For your process
    to be successful you need to create realistic
    goals and attainable time periods. Sound planning
    is the single most important common denominator
    for construction companies that successfully
    implemented an ISO 9001 certification process.
  • Leadership
  • Leadership is an equally important aspect of ISO
    9001 implementation. For a construction company
    to succeed in obtaining certification top
    management must be actively involved in promoting
    and securing ISO certification.

7
  • Employee Involvement
  • With top management behind the implementation, it
    is imperative to nurture employee understanding
    and commitment to ISO 9001. To achieve employee
    buy-in, top management should seek the opinions
    and advice of key employees. This includes
    foreman, team leaders, and shop stewards if
    unionized.
  • Ongoing Communication
  • Change is hard for everyone. Implementing ISO-
    9001 means some significant changes in company
    culture and processes. Since change is
    unsettling, timely, accurate, and concise
    communications about the changes, progress, and
    challenges related to certification help assuage
    worker concerns.

8
  • Keep Track of Your Key Performance Indicators
  • Key Performance Indicators commonly referred to
    as KPIs is a way to measure the progress of your
    certification process. Another way to keep track
    is through your internal audit system. Progress
    should be measured against the objectives you
    stated as part of the planning process.
