Garrick Rose from Nixey Powell Partnership shares its journey to chartered company.
We have experienced several benefits as a chartered company.
This is not a paywall. Registration allows us to enhance your experience across Construction Management and ensure we deliver you quality editorial content.
Registering also means you can manage your own CPDs, comments, newsletter sign-ups and privacy settings.
Competitive advantage in a crowded market
Being chartered has given Nixey Powell Partnership a clear edge when bidding for projects. For example, when we were competing for a refurbishment project for a local authority, the client expressed that it was particularly reassured by our chartered status, which it felt spoke to our commitment to ethical practices and high standards.
Strengthening credibility and trust
It has reassured clients that we are committed to delivering the highest quality of service. After completing a challenging restoration project for a Grade II-listed building, the client gave us this feedback: “Knowing that [Nixey Powell] adhere to the standards of the CIOB reassured us at every step. It wasn’t just about meeting deadlines or budgets, but about knowing we were working with a team that values integrity and quality as much as we do.”
Leveraging CIOB resources
We have access to a range of resources and support from CIOB, including the marketing toolkit, individual mentoring services, and discounted CPD courses. The status also affords networking opportunities provided by CIOB.
Commitment to continuous Improvement
This is reinforced by CIOB’s requirement for independent assessments every five years and ensures we meet the high standards expected of a chartered company from governance and quality management to health, safety and environmental sustainability.
I feel a deep sense of pride in how far we’ve come on our chartered journey. It’s not just about the accreditation but about what it represents: a commitment to doing things the right way, even when it’s not the easiest path. It has shaped not just how we do business, but how we see our role in the broader construction community:
as stewards of quality, integrity and innovation.
