Build Off Site Accreditation
Underlining its commitment to continuous improvement, Terrapin Limited is the first company to be accredited under Buildoffsites new supplier registration scheme operated by Lloyds Register. Terrapin received its formal accreditation at the Off-site Construction Awards dinner at the National Motorcycle Museum.
The scheme has been set up by Buildoffsite, the body that campaigns for the greater uptake of off-site building solutions, in association with Lloyds Register EMEA to standardise and ensure best practice across all aspects of the off-site process, from the submission of tenders through the awarding of contracts to the specification, design, manufacture, construction, handover and even the ongoing maintenance of a completed building. It also integrates existing quality assurance and environmental performance certification under, for example, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. By choosing a supplier registered under the scheme, client organisations can be confident of the assured levels of competence, methodology and safe working from companies that have standardised best practice for the delivery of their products and services.
The Buildoffsite Registration Scheme is operated in collaboration with other organisations that may be able to provide specialist focus, such as the British Board of Agrément. Its operating philosophy is to evaluate the control measures taken by a service provider to mitigate any risks to the safe and competent delivery of their products and services. By taking this approach it focuses on the way the products and services are delivered rather than laying down standards for the products and services themselves. This provides the flexibility to cover a wide range of different approaches whilst still setting a benchmark for best practice.
Terrapin Group Chairman, Mr Billy Orr said, As one of the pioneers of off-site construction as a way of providing high quality buildings quickly and at low cost we are pleased to be at the forefront of this initiative. Off-site construction provides an answer to many of the challenges that are facing the UK industry. The more awareness, understanding and confidence we can build, the more our customers can share in the benefits.
