The attainment of ISO 19650 certification from LRQA confirms that Hill International’s building information modeling system adheres to a strong and globally recognized approach to risk management, focused on continuous development to fulfill the needs and expectations of its customers and stakeholders.
The certification to ISO 19650 would constitute a formal recognition of their BIM capabilities and would provide them with a competitive edge, allowing improving the bid-hit rates, enhancing capabilities to meet client expectations and expand business in the region and beyond. Hill International is the first PMC Company to achieve ISO Certification Part 3 (Asset Operation) in the Middle East.
Saif Alobaidi, General Manager Middle East & Egypt at LRQA said:
“LRQA is delighted to be the trusted partner of choice for Hill International and we would like to congratulate Hill International on their achievement of being the first pure PMC firm with a regional office based in the Middle East to accomplish multi-site ISO certification for Asset Delivery (ISO 19650 Part 2) and Asset Operation (ISO 19650 Part 3) for eight of its branches. This demonstrates Hill International continues improvement mindset in providing best practice and gives its clients confidence that Hill International are working to the highest standards.”
Amine Tayeg, Regional QMS Director at Hill International, said:
“LRQA was among three tier-1 global consultants that we consulted with during the selection of the certification company for our BIM certification. What differentiated LRQA was the ability to efficiently mobilize resources (subject matter experts) from different geographical locations (UAE, Singapore, UK) to explain the process and the possibilities that we have as PMC to achieve the BIM certification. This combined with timely responses to our queries gave us confidence that LRQA will be able to support our global operations during the initial certification process and throughout the follow-up certification activities.”
The two companies plan to continue working together to ensure consistency and quality across Hill International’s management systems, re-enforced by certification through LRQA.
