Demonstrated Competence for Building Safety Act Compliance
Building Competence. Building Confidence.
Under the Building Safety Act, clients, architects and contractors must prove that everyone involved in a higher-risk building project is competent, compliant, and accountable.
At ACS, competence isn’t a statement, it’s a system. We’ve built the structure, training, and evidence to make compliance simple for our customers.
Certified Competence Across Every Function
Our Competence Framework sets out the processes, training, and qualifications that ensure our people, from design engineers to fabricators, are technically capable and accountable.
- Fully traceable processes: ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified manufacturing with clear lines of responsibility.
- Trained and qualified people: every role mapped to our inhouse competence frameworks, with continuous professional development, mentoring and training.
- Documented and technical data assurance: up-to-date technical files, CE/UKCA certificates, BBA, Declarations of Performance and datasheets all aligned with CCPI-assessed product information standards to support your Gateway submissions.
- Technical design expertise: in-house Technical Team providing compliant designs and performance data you can rely on.
