CONSTRUCTION CONSULTANCY

Bureau Veritas provides independent assurance to mitigate construction risk and demonstrate compliance through construction consultancy services.

CONSTRUCTION GOVERNANCE AND BUILDING REGULATIONS

Changes to Building Regulations and construction governance as a result of the Hackitt Review placed a new emphasis on safety and competence in the construction industry.

Developers have a responsibility to ensure that their activity has been overseen by a competent, independent professional – and one of the most effective ways to demonstrate this is through Bureau Veritas’s Independent Construction Assessor service.

CONSTRUCTION RISK MANAGEMENT

With experienced auditors operating nationwide, our service provides developers with an agreed audit template, bespoke to your organization, which helps mitigate construction risk.

Taking into account all relevant standards and directives, audits cover an agreed scope that can include all aspects of foundations, building envelope, and internal build.

This tailored, comprehensive assessment of build quality will check standards against internal and external reference documents to mitigate and reduce construction risk throughout all build stages. Crucially, it demonstrates to the regulator that construction activity has been overseen by a competent, independent professional, meets building regulations, and achieves the requirements of the design.
