Benefits of Certification
Certification of structural steelwork fabrication companies provides clients, regulatory authorities and the construction industry with certainty as to the capability to produce fabricated steelwork to the compliance requirements of the appropriate Australian Standards for the relevant Construction Category as required by the engineer and defined in AS 4100 and AS/NZS 5131.
The practical benefits flowing on from this include:
- Providing greater certainty of construction outcome, with a defined quality bar both Government and our community can rely on.
- Reducing the incidence of bogus supply
- Generating productivity increases through minimising the need for rework and repair prior to project handover and during the lifecycle of the project
- Reducing risk consistent with the intent of the relevant Workplace Health and Safety Acts and Regulations.
- Creating, in effect, a National Technical Prequalification Scheme, which will result in significant process efficiencies in reducing the need for bespoke project prequalification.
