Thank you for Subscribing to Construction Business Review Weekly Brief
Top 10 Safety and Compliance Consulting Companies in UK - 2021
Regulatory compliance represents a significant challenge for the construction industry – and manufacturers supplying this vital sector. The number and reach of relevant regulations are extensive, covering fields as diverse as workers’ health and safety, the efficacy of building materials and products, and the legality of construction contracts.
Integrated technology like an ERP for construction can streamline compliance across an organization by giving everyone from the back office to those working in the field access to the real-time information they need. Such type of software solution can also include workflows that automatically collect and track compliance documents. Additionally, many contractors find dedicated compliance software solutions useful. These applications are built into some construction ERP platforms and can integrate with others for ease of use, and they serve as a portal for all things compliance-related. Within them, one can manage documents, set up alerts for compliance documents that are expiring soon, and even manage subcontractors’ compliance documentation.
The moral of the story is that staying compliant with the plethora of regulations that an individual might face in the construction industry requires planning, streamlined processes and access to information. With this in mind, in the last few months, our distinguished panel comprising CEOs, CIOs, VCs, analysts and the editorial board of Construction Tech Review have reviewed hundreds of technology service providers in the Construction Tech world and shortlisted the ones that are at the forefront of mitigating the challenges the companies face, by helping CIOs in choosing the right solution for their enterprises. The companies listed in this issue exhibit vast knowledge and in-depth expertise in delivering innovative storage technology solutions, enhancing speed, security, and accuracy of applications. Construction Tech Review presents to you the ‘Top 10 Safety and Compliance Consulting Companies in UK - 2021.’
