Compliance & Certification

focused on your technology approach

Collaborating with compliance and certification bodies in the UK and globally, is a fundamental value proposition from Ottersbrook. We have exceptionally strong relationships with the major influential bodies in the construction sector in the UK and internationally. We can ensure that your project does not fall foul of inertia or cost hiking, which is common when approaching a regulatory body, for compliance approval, or third party certification .

Ottersbrook carries out precise and detailed checks at the start of a compliance programme (Stage Gate 1) to ensure an efficient process with full cost control in mind. Where required, this can extend into a full project‑management service — from test planning through to full certification, building control approvals, and final warranty provision. This is particularly valuable when dealing with complex systems such as CAT 1 volumetric modules. With many product and system approvals already under our belt, we would be pleased to support you with any approval process, regardless of scale or complexity.

Ottersbrook is a trusted partner of NHBC, LABC, BOPAS, BBA, FM, BRE, and numerous other organisations that provide compliance and certification services across the industry. We can guide your projects in specific areas, or we can fully manage your compliance programme from initiation through to project closure, tailored to your needs and budget. Our initiation stage includes detailed cost‑management reviews, and we frequently value‑engineer programmes to save clients significant expenditure when developing a suitable test and certification pathway. We also carefully assess who to approach, why, and when, ensuring the most efficient and effective route to compliance management.

Here are just a few of the organisations Ottersbrook works with on behalf of our clients. With relationships built over nearly 40 years, we understand exactly how certification and compliance processes can go wrong—and, more importantly, how to coordinate them flawlessly to protect your project, your products, your reputation, and your time and costs.
