BuildingConfidence is the UK’s highest level of construction accreditation connecting the most discerning buyers with rigorously prequalified sub-contractors and suppliers to provide unrivalled supply chain transparency and reporting confidence.
Buyer members of BuildingConfidence include some of the UK’s leading construction and infrastructure brands.
BuildingConfidence is an exclusive network of rigorously validated and audited suppliers and sub-contractors and major buyers working together to achieve ever higher standards and create a safer, more sustainable and efficient UK construction industry. It is also the UK construction industry’s most in-depth and comprehensive supplier auditing programme.
