Sir Robert McAlpine receives Chartered Building Company status
We are thrilled to receive Chartered Building Company status from the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB).
We are delighted to have received Chartered Building Company status from the CIOB. This accreditation is evidence of our ongoing commitments to upholding the highest standards of ethics and professional services, to our clients, supply chain partners and our people.
It further enhances the existing programme of professional development within our organisation to establish a fully qualified workforce.
As a chartered builder, we will now benefit from the support of the CIOB in developing tailored specialist training.
This is particularly valuable with the imminent introduction of the Building Safety Bill, and the growing need for construction professionals to adapt and be trained to high standards for fire safety and security.
It will also allow us to play a more significant part in leading by example on best practice across the industry and helping to shape the future of construction.
Alison Cox, Executive Director of Engineering and Technical Services, and Fellow of the CIOB, said: “We are thrilled to receive this prestigious accreditation. We value our long-standing relationship with the CIOB, one of the leading and most influential bodies for construction management and leadership, and this is further validation of our ongoing focus on quality. This clearly demonstrates to our clients and our business partners that we are serious about delivering excellence across the board. For our people, it highlights our support to their ongoing professional development.”
