Pricing

Average prices

Let’s first take the typical client that we deal with, it might be a manufacturing company, a construction company, a building services company, maybe an architect, surveyor or an M&E contractor.  They might have one office and anywhere between, let’s say, 15 and 50 staff.
A typical ISO support agreement might be £4-£6k pa payable quarterly.
A typical ISO project for organisation of this size might be £8-£12k payable over the duration of the contract, say 6-9 months.

That’ll give you a rough idea, but of course there are variables, so in different instances it could be more, it could be less.  But that’s certainly a half decent “ballpark figure”.

So, what are the variables that might affect the final fixed price?

As you might imagine there are a number, and they include:

Some standards are more complex to implement than others.

The more standards required, the more common elements can be integrated which reduces the overall workload.

Hands on – Where we write the processes and systems with you and your people, or

Facilitative – We teach your people how to write the processes and we review and check them.

Driving instructor and driving examiner

As might be expected for a UKAS approved ISO certification, UKAS being the ISO governing body in the UK, there needs to be a differentiation between the driving instructor, essentially the consultant, in this case us (hopefully) and the driving examiner.  A UKAS approved certifying body.

So, Statius teach you how to drive the ISO bus, but the driving test needs to be undertaken by a UKAS approved agency, who usually also want playing!

So, taking the same typical company above, typical costs for an assessment to one standard would usually be in the order of:
