Practical, auditor-led ISO consultancy for UK construction firms. We help you build, certify and maintain quality, environmental and health & safety management systems (ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001) — aligned with your CDM 2015 duties and the tenders and PQQs you need to win, led by an IRCA Registered Principal Auditor.
Most construction firms work towards a combination of three standards. Health & safety is usually the priority, with quality and environmental close behind — and all three support the same commercial goal of winning and keeping work.
The most prominent standard for construction. ISO 45001 gives you a structured, risk-based way to manage health and safety across sites, demonstrate worker consultation, and evidence the safe systems of work that clients and principal contractors increasingly demand.
ISO 9001 underpins consistent delivery — controlling design, procurement, subcontractors and snagging. For construction firms it is often the baseline tenders ask for, and the framework that keeps quality defects and rework under control.
ISO 14001 helps you manage waste, emissions, spill control and site environmental aspects, and respond to the environmental clauses that show up in modern construction tenders and client sustainability requirements.
These standards do not sit in isolation. A well-built management system supports your duties under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) — giving you the documented procedures, risk controls and records that demonstrate competence as a duty holder.
They also map closely onto the pre-qualification questionnaires (PQQs) and accreditations that clients ask for. We help you align your management system with the requirements behind schemes such as CHAS, SafeContractor and Constructionline, so the evidence is already in place when you complete an assessment. TAC does not issue these accreditations — we help you prepare for them.
A clear path from where you are now to a certified, maintainable management system.
We assess your current management system against ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 and produce a clear, prioritised picture of what stands between your construction business and certification.
We help you build the policies, processes and site controls your system needs — proportionate to the way your projects, sites and subcontractors actually work, not generic templates.
We carry out internal audits and prepare your teams and site documentation so there are no surprises when your certification body arrives on site or in the office.
A pre-certification review by an IRCA Registered Principal Auditor means you walk into Stage 1 and Stage 2 assessments with confidence across all three standards.
Certification is the start, not the finish. We help you keep the system living through surveillance audits, management reviews, CDM record-keeping and continual improvement.
A construction management system generates a constant stream of evidence — risk assessments and method statements, site inspections, corrective actions, audit findings, plant and competence records, and management reviews. Keeping all of that current across multiple sites is where many contractors slip between surveillance audits.
After implementation, many of our clients use PICMS to maintain that evidence, track audit actions and stay continually compliant. PICMS is a separate UK-built ISO compliance platform, designed by an IRCA Registered Principal Auditor — it is the software, while TAC provides the consultancy.
