Sound Familiar?
Are you trying to win bigger contracts?
Growth is good news, but it usually brings new questions. Larger clients and main contractors expect certifications, accreditations and written evidence that smaller jobs never asked for.
Tendering for larger contracts
You're being asked for policies, certifications and evidence you don't currently have.
Being asked for ISO certification
You're not sure which standard you need or how to get started.
Applying for industry accreditation
Constructionline, CHAS, SafeContractor or Achilles requirements can be difficult to navigate.
Your business has outgrown its processes
Your policies, procedures and documentation haven't kept pace with the business.
You're not sure what you actually need
You don't want to spend money on certifications or systems that won't help you achieve your goals.

Start With The Right Question
Not sure which certification or accreditation you need?
You don’t necessarily need an ISO certification just because someone has mentioned it. The starting point should be understanding the contracts you’re trying to win, what your customers require and what your business already has in place.
- 1What work do you want to win?
- 2What does the buyer require?
- 3What do you already have?
- 4What’s missing?
- 5What’s the most practical route forward?

Maintain
Where needed, Eye Bray can provide ongoing support to keep everything working effectively.
Eye Bray's documents gave us a real sense of what we need to think about and as far as I can tell for the moment gives us a more than comprehensive starting point - although I could imagine there might be a few questions along the way regarding implementation. Each section is very clear but I will read through again a few more times and if anything comes up I will check with you for sure. It’s very obvious you have got to know our organisation really quickly and I much appreciate that you are making a potentially troublesome subject manageable & understandable for us.
CEO
Counselling Service, Brentwood
We engaged the services of Eye Bray when we started the process of becoming GDPR compliant. Ian came to our office and expertly guided us through the process in a systematic way and with clarity which meant we understood what we were doing and why and importantly, we didn't miss anything. GDPR was a daunting prospect for us and Ian's patience with our constant questioning and his easy-to-understand answers demystified it for us. I would not hesitate to recommend Eye Bray and will most definitely work with them again in the future..
Managing Director
Textile Company, Hutton
I found myself repeating what I had heard Ian saying but I didn’t quite understand how to make it work for me. Once Ian heard what my aspirations were, and how I wanted to get there, he was quickly able to explain how to make immediate simple changes that should have a massive impact. I also now know exactly how I can monitor how well I am doing with my ambitions with some really simple clear goals that I can review easily and regularly.

No generic templates. No unnecessary certifications. Just the compliance you need to grow your business.
Construction & Related Trades

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Can’t see your question? Ian is happy to talk it through.
That depends on the contracts you’re trying to win, what your customers are asking for and what you already have in place. The most common are ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental), ISO 45001 (health and safety) and ISO 27001 (information security). You don’t necessarily need ISO just because someone has mentioned it, and for some businesses another accreditation is a better first step. Ian will help you work out which standard, if any, will actually help your business grow.
Yes. SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) is the umbrella name for health and safety accreditation schemes such as CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor and Achilles. Buyers and main contractors often ask for one before you can work on their sites. Ian will help you choose the right scheme, put the policies, risk assessments and documentation in place, and prepare you for assessment.
Yes. Constructionline and CHAS are often required to get onto approved supplier lists, but the portals, questionnaires and different levels can be confusing. Ian will explain what’s being asked of you, help you gather the right evidence, fill any gaps and work out whether moving up a level is worth it for the work you want to win.
It depends on the size of your business, the standard you’re working towards and how much is already in place. A lot also depends on how quickly information can be supplied during the process. That’s why Eye Bray doesn’t promise a fixed date. Instead, We will agree a realistic target with you once he understands where you’re starting from. Certification is also an ongoing commitment, with regular audits to keep it.
Yes. Many businesses already have good practices that just need updating, tidying up or writing down properly. Ian will review what you have, identify any gaps and present clear options for bringing everything up to date. You stay in control of the decisions, and you end up with documentation that reflects how your business really works.
No. Construction and related trades, such as facilities management, general builders and installation contractors, are a key focus. But Eye Bray also supports growing businesses in other sectors, from professional services to manufacturing. The principles of good compliance, risk management and documentation apply whatever you do.
Eye Bray is based in Brentwood and supports businesses across Essex, East London and the South East. Ian prefers to work face to face where possible, but some work can be done remotely. If you’re further afield, get in touch to discuss what you need.
