Compliance and Auditing

Fulfilling yourlegal obligations

Managing and running a building is no simple task.

As well as the operational and practical considerations, organisations need to be aware of the wealth of complex and varied statutory and regulatory requirements.

If these obligations are not met, civil or legal proceedings are a real possibility. These cases can be incredibly costly, and not just in simple economic terms. Financially, of course, any kind of litigation can be crippling; however, it is often impossible to estimate the soft costs of such action. The cost to your reputation, staff morale and lost revenue, for example, are so hard to assess. Unfortunately, they can also be the most damaging.

It is surprising how legal cases are often triggered by a casual conversation or a minor incident that balloons into something far more significant and more threatening. In this day and age, not being aware is no longer a defence. It is your responsibility to be completely informed.

Engaging our Technical Facilities Management services means you will minimise these risks, ensure you are working within the legally defined parameters and increase your productivity, efficiency and customer service.

At SVMA we work with you to ensure you meet all of your responsibilities. We keep you up to date and fully informed so that you don’t have to worry about missing new legislation that could affect you, your business and your premises or receiving unwelcome, surprises of which you were unaware.

Our consultants are NEBOSH qualified and have proven experience in operational management. They fully understand what is involved with taking on the responsibility for compliance.

Technicalexpertise

RenownedIndustry Partner

With decades of experience, SVMA is recognised, well known and respected throughout the industry.  For this reason, we have considerable sway with facilities management contractors and can ensure that they fulfil all of their contractual duties to the expected, and required, standard.

Our depth of experience in Technical Facilities Management means that not only do we provide expert levels of guidance and support we also ensure that our document management is of the highest quality. We know that evidence of best practise is as crucial as the best practise itself (and often where organisations let themselves down).

Technical Facilities Management can be a tricky place to navigate. We can interpret contracts for you as we fully understand all of their aspects and how they are delivered. Without our knowledge and support, businesses often find themselves with ineffective and irrelevant formal arrangements.

Our high levels of client retention are a testament to the capabilities and diligence of our Technical Facilities Management Director and team and the service they provide.

When we work with our clients, we are always transparent and honest (even if that means giving you bad news). Our primary goal is to ensure that you are meeting all of your obligations and that your records and processes support this compliance.

We don’t just tick a box. We look at every aspect from all angles and circumstances so that our clients are assured that they are fully compliant in all areas.
