What Is Constructionline?
Constructionline is an assessment scheme for consultants, contractors, and material suppliers to the UK’s construction industry. Buyers use this platform to seek companies that can demonstrate their compliance across a range of business compliance issues. Constructionline is used by more than 2,000 buyers, including local authorities, main contractors, and the central government, and there are about 46,000 suppliers on the register.
Constructionline is based on the document Construction Pre-Qualification Questions, also known as PAS91 Common Assessment Standard, with the purpose that holding Constructionline qualification allows suppliers to avoid lengthy and repetitive pre-qualification questionnaires for different customers. This way, everyone can save time and money.

The Constructionline questions include question on financial information, insurance, health & Safety, environmental management, quality, BIM, and corporate social responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions from our Customers
Yes we can, we can assist you with any of the accreditation featured on our website. We have a 100% record of securing any of the accreditation in the first audit for all our customers for the last 13 years.
More to the point, I ask clients how quickly can you start. We can have a consultant working on your accreditation within the hour if you are ready. The only things that take time are the audit dates, these are issued to the client by the certification body so it is out of our control.
This depends on how much the client has in place already. The more they have, the easier it becomes to work on their accreditation. The gap analysis that we carry out is free of charge and afterwards will give you an exact fixed price.
The fixed price will include the following –
- Carry out all the work ( creating documents & processes tailored to your company )
- Attend the audit ( as your expert consultant ) or make the desktop submission.
- Make any corrections that the auditor may highlight to ensure that you obtain your accreditation the first audit.
Initially, we need to talk to you to carry out the free gap analysis. Afterwards, we would require you to forward all the relevant documents. After that, we can complete the work with the minimum of your input, leaving you to concentrate on doing what you do best for the company.
