Certification

Sagle Constructions has implemented a Business Management System assisted by JLB Management Consultants addressing quality and OHS requirements which has resulted in third party Safety, Quality and Environmental certification.

Part of this commitment to business excellence is to ensure our quality and safety objectives are supported by our employees, contractors and suppliers. Opportunity to collaborate and become one has created a pathway to provide an innovative construction service to the market.

Sagle maintains a formal Environmental Management System to ensure we conform to the requirements of the associated Regulations, Codes of Practice and ISO 14001 as a minimum level within all its activities.

The Environmental Policy is a part of Sagle’s Business Management System designed to conform to the requirements of the international Standard, ISO 14001:2015.

We are committed to ensuring:

• There is an effective framework for continual improvement to protect the environment, including preventing pollution and environmental impacts directly or indirectly related to its processes, products and services. New products and processes are also assessed for environmental impact early in their development. Regular audits and management reviews are conducted to monitor the effectiveness and suitability of the System.
• All current and relevant environmental legislation and regulations are complied with or exceeded and, where no appropriate regulation exists, the Company adopts appropriate responsible standards.
• An effective mechanism exists for setting and reviewing environmental objectives and targets, principally through formal management review meetings.
• Documented procedures are established and maintained to describe how environmental matters are communicated to all employees, customers and subcontractors, and how relevant information is made available to the public.
• All processes are monitored to ensure there is an efficient use of natural resources and energy, and a safe and responsible disposal of all residual wastes.
• All aspects of the Company’s business are run in such a manner so as to minimise and handle any incidents and emergencies should they occur.
• Aim to reduce the consumption of materials and energy by implementing environmentally sound waste management practices
• Involve all employees in observing and reporting any environmentally damaging issues within the workplace
• Conduct business with suppliers who also have a commitment to responsible environmental management

Senior management support this Environmental Policy and the integrated management system that has been integrated.

Sagle Constructions is Adelaide based and provides a ‘hands-on’ construction management and solutions service to commercial, industry and residential projects. Since inception in 1999, both Directors have continued to be jointly responsible for ensuring the Company is capable of fully meeting the expectations of customers.

The Company is committed to the principles of honesty and openness when dealing with customers and to compliance with all relevant state and local government legislation and regulations. The Company will ensure industry standards and norms are always met or exceeded.

To ensure the Company grows at a controlled rate and continues to meet contractual obligations, the Company undertakes formal planning for which performance indicators are established and regularly reviewed. These business objectives are formally reviewed during strategic management review meetings and, more regularly, during operational meetings.

Management is dedicated to the philosophy of continual improvement. To support this philosophy and maintain its high reputation, Sagle Constructions has developed and implemented a Business Management System which complies with the quality management system requirements of ISO 9001:2015, the safety management system requirements of AS/NZS 4801:2001 and the environmental management systems requirements of ISO 14001:2015. Moreover, the Company is third party certified to these international and Australian standards by TQCS International assuring our customers of our commitment to provide a quality service in a safe working environment.

To ensure customers' expectations are met through the highest standards of workmanship, all sub-contractors are selected on their ability to complete their tasks effectively, on time and within budget. This is assured through management’s ‘hands-on’ approach to on-site management.

Sagle Constructions ensures through ongoing training, that management and respective employees remain aware of the latest developments in their field of expertise, have adequate resources to conduct business effectively, fully understand the requirements of the Business Management System and implement the documented policies and procedures in their workplace.
