The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) has launched its CIBSE Chartered Organisation Programme, as it seeks to elevate standards within building services engineering industry.
At its core, the CIBSE Chartered Organisation Programme represents a commitment to professionalism and excellence. It offers organisations a unique pathway to not only demonstrate their dedication to best practices but also to achieve the prestigious status of being chartered with CIBSE.
Designed to facilitate the demonstration of competence within organisations, the programme provides a robust framework for showcasing levels of competency, professionalism and adherence to the highest standards. By participating in this initiative, CIBSE says organisations can differentiate themselves in terms of quality, ensuring they remain at the forefront of an ever-evolving legislative landscape.
Adrian Catchpole, CIBSE’s President, emphasised the significance of this “groundbreaking” initiative. He stated: “Under the overarching theme of my presidential address ‘Taking a Lead’ the CIBSE Chartered Organisation Programme aligns perfectly with our focus on competency, a crucial aspect of the Building Safety Act. Drawing inspiration from successful programmes in other professional bodies, we have tailored this initiative to meet the unique needs of our industry.”
Inclusivity lies at the heart of this initiative, with CIBSE ensuring that organisations of all sizes can benefit from the programme. Extensive market research, involving consultations with organisations ranging from one-person consultancies to tier-one multidisciplinary firms, has been instrumental in crafting a programme that caters to every organisation’s journey towards excellence.
The launch of the CIBSE Chartered Organisation Programme marks a significant milestone in the organisation’s ongoing commitment to advancing excellence within the industry. With its comprehensive framework, CIBSE adds this programme is “poised to set new benchmarks and elevate standards” within the building services engineering profession.
