Construction is a wide ranging activity covering aspects including architecture, planning, building works, refurbishment and building maintenance, all covered by a wide range of standards and regulations
 
Since the early 1990's, organizations involved in construction have been embracing the philosophies of quality and fit for purpose. By implementing quality management systems compliant to ISO 9001, they have shown through third party assessment, that they manage, and are in control of their processes.
 

Good communication between an organization, its customers, and suppliers, is important to ensuring the services being provided are to the correct requirements. Maintaining an accurate record of these communications can be invaluable if a dispute arises. 
 

Control of equipment used is important, not only to ensure that equipment is maintained and where necessary calibrated, but safe for the user, other persons around, and the environment. Using a system that can automatically produce a schedule of maintenance and calibration, can help to ensure that this happens and is recorded

The risk of injury within construction is always present, even after taking precautions, accidents can happen. These accidents need to be recorded and analysed, allowing appropriate action to be taken to prevent recurrence.

Control of documents, procedures and other records can be essential to ensuring consistent application of requirements. When any of these are revised, it can be a complex task to ensuring all users are updated quickly, especially when the organization is multi-site. Considerable man-hours can be wasted chasing confirmation of receipt and implementation. A Document control system that can be local or even global, can help. With the right system it is also possible to permit internal and external approval of documents, in a matter a minutes
 

 

These are just some of the aspects that need to be covered within construction organizations
