UMC Architects successfully renew ISO9001 + ISO14001 Certification Following achieving Planet Mark Certification Year 2 last month, UMC Architects are delighted to announce the successful renewal of the ISO9001 and ISO14001 accreditation across our three offices in Newark, Manchester and London. UMC Architects are passionate about delivering the right solutions and making a difference with genuine added value. We are proud of our Quality Management system which aims to; • Ensure, insofar as is possible, that we provide a consistent, competitive and professional service which is focused on our clients, suppliers and colleagues within the industry. • Embrace quality management procedures and adopt principles of ‘best practice’ as an integral part of our company ethos. • Ensure that we maintain a high quality of deliverables on all of our projects at all times by adopting appropriate checking, reviewing and auditing procedures both internally and by external accredited organisations. • Encourage all our staff to strive to create and maintain a professional work environment and to improve their skills wherever possible. • Ensure that all staff are competent to do their tasks and to give them adequate information, instruction and training to develop their skills. • Ensure that we consult with all of our employees on matters affecting their health, safety and wellbeing and endeavour to prevent accidents and cases of work related ill health. • Review and revise this policy statement at regular intervals. The ISO14001 accreditation integrates with our existing Quality Management System which is certified under ISO9001 and allows the implementation of a framework to maintain and improve our EMS in accordance with the objectives set out within our established Environmental Policy. As a practice, we are committed to providing a quality service in a manner that ensures a safe and healthy workplace for our employees and visitors which minimises our potential impact on the environment. We are passionate about promoting environmental awareness among our employees and encourage our team to work in an environmentally responsible manner. UMC Architects recognise that the products of our designs will have far more environmental impact than our own operation therefore we are committed to exercising our professional skills in such a way as to minimise environmental impact in so far as this is possible within the instructions received from our clients. A huge thanks to Stephen and Rachel for their endeavours over the last few months in coordinating the audit documentation to demonstrate our compliance. #Sustainability #architect #industrialarchitecture #construction #logistics #sheds #industrialwarehouses #industrial #UrbanDesign #studios #masterplanning #urbanlogistics #fitout #refurbishment #ISO9001 #ISO14001

A few questions: * what is the cost * what is the size of the target group * what is BSI’s market penetration * are sales monitored * does BSI have a KPI around uptake Just asking…
Are You Ready for the Next Level of 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆? 🏢🦺 The British Standard BS 8670 (currently transitioning from BS Flex 8670 v3.0:2021-04) is revolutionising the principles and common language for competence in the building industry. This standard establishes a comprehensive framework for the key dutyholder roles of Principal Designer and Principal Contractor under the Building Safety Act. Additionally, it serves as a template for future competence standards. While Building Safety Managers are no longer duty holders, the Accountable Person now has critical responsibilities: Preventing building safety risks, such as fire spread and structural failure. Reducing the impact of incidents when they occur. To fulfil these duties effectively, building safety management with appropriate competence is essential. PAS 8673:2022 is the go-to resource to ensure those in these roles possess the necessary skills. Developed collaboratively with the CSG, BSI Flex 8670 v3.0:2021-04 and the BSI PAS documents—PAS 8671:2022 for Principal Designer, PAS 8672:2022 for Principal Contractor, and PAS 8673:2022 for residential building safety management—are instrumental in advancing industry competence. This initiative was initially driven by an additional working group for Overarching Competence before being integrated into the BSI. These documents highlight the industry's dedication to enhancing competence across design, contractor, owner, and occupier accountable roles. Stay informed and ensure your practices align with the latest standards!
