ISO certification can be a highly valuable investment for Real Estate companies. With benefits such as: competitive advantages, risk management, increased customer satisfaction, compliance and improved quality. Companies are able to showcase their commitment to providing quality work, alongside considerations to the environment and employees. This will also contribute to building trust with stakeholders and customers.
To support Quality control and standard regulations, ISO 9001 should be implemented. This is the most popular standard across the UK and well known within the Real Estate sector. Supply chain management, along with customer satisfaction, is controlled and monitored. The standard for Environmental aspects is ISO 14001, this will ensure that sustainable working practices are implemented. Consideration of environmental impacts is also a key aspect amongst Real Estate companies, as they are always looking to display how they are working towards environmental targets. Finally, the health and safety of employees and customers within this sector is of paramount importance. Therefore ISO 45001 is highly relevant.
