Quality and Safety
Quality and Safety
Quality and safety are the foundations of a professional, trusted construction industry. From protecting lives on site to ensuring buildings are safe, durable and fit for purpose, getting it right matters at every stage. At CIOB, we champion high standards to build public trust, protect communities, and support professionals to deliver their best work.
The Challenges We Face
Despite progress, there are still significant challenges across the industry:
Inconsistent standards – A lack of uniform quality and safety practices across projects and regions.
Skills and competency gaps – Shortfalls in training and qualifications can lead to poor workmanship and unsafe environments.
Regulatory complexity – Navigating evolving building regulations can be challenging for firms and professionals.
Cultural issues – In some parts of the industry, speed and cost are prioritised over quality and safety.
