ICW achieves Chartered Building Consultancy status

ICW Technical Services has achieved Chartered Building Consultancy (CBC) status from the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB).

ICW Technical Services is the surveying division of ICW Group, one of the UK’s leading providers of building warranties and building control services. Becoming a Chartered Building Consultancy underpins ICW’s commitment to delivering high standards of quality and professionalism to clients as well as employees.

The CBC scheme has been running for over 20 years, assuring that organisations providing consultancy services within the built environment sector are competently and professionally run. Membership of the scheme requires the highest qualifications and training criteria for all employees engaged in any aspect of construction management and surveying, ensuring a professional approach at every level in the organisation.

Aaron McCarten, Chief Operating Officer, ICW Group says: “We are delighted to have achieved this accolade from CIOB and appreciate the value CBC status adds to our business. ICW prides itself on high levels of services delivered as we continue to invest in the development of our staff. This achievement is a fantastic step forward for our group”.

ICW has also recently joined the CIOB Training Partnership scheme to support their long-term L&D strategy, where they aim to assist all employees to achieve their professional development goals. ICW already have a number of staff progressing through to Chartered Membership and several staff members have completed courses through the CIOB Academy.

Nick Cuffe, Operations Director, ICW Technical Services, says “As a Chartered Fellow of CIOB, I’m an advocate for lifelong learning. I am extremely proud of the fact that all of our surveying staff hold or are working towards CIOB recognised qualifications, and we have now been accredited with CBC status. This will help not only to raise our profile within the construction sector but will also provide assurance that we can deliver high levels of professionalism and service to our clients”.
