1 Tell me about your company – what industry are you in and what does your business do?
Fairview specialises in the design, manufacture and distribution of a suite of quality façade solutions to the construction industry across Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
2. Can you please provide some top level information about your organisation, such as size, number of staff, office locations or similar?
Established in 2004, Fairview has a team of over 60 employees, located across our offices in Toowoomba, Sydney, Lithgow, Melbourne and Tasmania. Our head office, warehouse and Ecoloop recycling facility is all located in Lithgow NSW.
3. Why did you go through certification?
We went through certification to obtain an independent review on the compliance of our products and the quality of the manufacturing processes.
4. How did you find the process with Global-Mark?
We found the process with Global-Mark excellent – the approach and attention to detail was thorough throughout the process from documentation, to auditing and independent review. In recent years, compliance process in the building industry has come under scrutiny with some high visibility failure. We found Global-Mark handling of the Codemark certification process to be very responsible and we are very confident in the certificate issued.
5. What is your outcome e.g. are you happy with the outcome?
We are very happy with the outcome. We have a quality certificate, and we believe our emphasis on Codemark has helped drive demand and build trust in the Codemark process. As a result of the façade fires, façade products have been an area of concern but we, builders and certifiers working with façade products have found the Codemark a valuable tool.
6. Are there any other business benefits you experienced as a result of becoming certified?
Becoming certified not only helped provide independent assurance in the product, but also helped us to improve our documentation and processes.
