Construction, Infrastructure and Real Estate Industry

Organizations active in these industries face increasing pressure to enhance safety, improve efficiency, and embrace digital and environmental transformation while navigating increasingly complex regulatory landscapes. Stakeholders often require evidence of strong management systems that guarantee product and service quality, ensure workplace safety, uphold environmental responsibility, and protect information security throughout complex and often multi-layered supply chains. Our comprehensive auditing, verification, and certification solutions empower construction, infrastructure, and real estate organizations to meet these multifaceted demands with confidence. By combining global expertise with local delivery, we help organizations enhance compliance, improve performance, and create lasting value in a rapidly evolving marketplace.

Industry specific auditing, verification and certifications solutions

Certification to key standards has become a fundamental requirement and is often mandated by regulatory frameworks. Core standards such as ISO 9001:2015 for quality management systems, ISO 14001:2015 for environmental stewardship, and ISO 45001:2018 for occupational health and safety, help companies control risk, improve supply chain reliability, and increase oversight of subcontractors and suppliers. Energy use and cost reduction are addressed by ISO 50001:2018 (Energy Management Systems), which supports systematic energy improvements and legislative requirments such as ESOS. For asset-intensive businesses, ISO 55001:2024 plays a critical role in optimizing asset lifecycles, mitigating risks, and ensuring long-term reliability.

For certain market segments, more specific standards like ISO 3834:2021 (Quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials) set the benchmark for welding quality and regulatory compliance and safety. Emerging standards for governance and social risk management, including ISO 37001:2025 for anti-bribery and ISO 22301:2019 for business continuity, reflect increased awareness and expectations for responsible operations. 

We also provide verification services along the supply chain to ensure transparency and traceability.

Digitalization and sustainability solutions

Digital transformation underpins many of these trends, with construction and real estate firms adopting digital tools and data analytics to optimize project delivery and asset management. Compliance with standards like ISO 27001:2022 for information security, ISO 27017:2015 for cloud security, ISO 20000:2018 for IT Service Management and ISO 27018:2019 for protecting personal data in the cloud ensures sensitive information is securely managed.

ISO 27701:2023 builds on these by providing a framework for privacy information management systems to help organizations safeguard personal data and meet privacy regulations. The rise of smart infrastructure and increasing adoption of technological solutions bring emerging standards such as ISO 42001:2023 for artificial intelligence management systems into focus, supporting safe and effective innovation. 

 Sustainability developments are reshaping the industry landscape, with growing awareness and increasing regulations driving change. Standards like ISO 14064:2018 and ISO 14068:2023 set guidelines for measuring and managing carbon footprints, helping organization demonstrate their commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals.
