What is the purpose of attaining a CIAPS Endorsement ?
The value comes from establishing the ability to deliver to the Construction Commitments e.g. in the Procurement & Integration module it is to deliver high quality work to time and to agreed cost, along with a commitment to continuous improvement. Most contracting firms have systems and processes that have been introduced to achieve just this. However, there is little integration or commonality between standards that support partnering. In addition, the absence hitherto of a means by which companies at all levels can readily demonstrate a consistency of approach, methodology and partnering culture has led to increased costs for the supply side. Much of these increased costs result from having to respond to a variety of overlapping questionnaires and inadequate registration schemes.
