While Builders Profile will now form part of the Once For All Group, the Builder’s Profile service will continue to operate separately alongside Constructionline and Altius VA for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n
The Builder\u2019s Profile service will continue as now. The only changes will be to provide you with access to extra benefits. All members will be able to import their Constructionline CAS assessments, while Premium members will also have their details available for searching and viewing by the Constructionline Buyer community. Therefore if you wish to, you\u2019ll be able to use your Profile to gain Constructionline Common Assessment Standard accreditation without the need to complete more forms.
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
We recognise that some Main Contractors like to perform their own assessments and so use Builder\u2019s Profile, while others prefer to outsource this function to Constructionline. We do not accept that this decision should require their supply chain partners to complete the whole PQQ process for both services, so the main benefit of this transaction is to enable your information to flow seamlessly between the two platforms. Once this process is in place, you\u2019ll be able to choose where you enter and maintain your information, but end users of both services will be able to see both your information and your assessment results.
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
Our first goal is to deliver even more value from your existing BP Premium Membership by making your Premium Profile visible to all the Constructionline Buyer community. Once that\u2019s in place, we\u2019ll be able to look at options for a more cost effective solution for you
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
You can continue using either or both services \u2013 whichever suits your business best.
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
You\u2019ll have the option of using your Builder\u2019s Profile to seek full-blown assessments from Constructionline, for example, to gain the new Common Assessment Standard which is being adopted by the industry.
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
YES. If you don\u2019t already have a Constructionline assessment, you\u2019ll be able to apply for one using the data contained within your Builder\u2019s Profile \u2013 saving you time and money while keeping all your information in one place and making it visible to all the Main Contractors you need to work with.
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t
If you already have a Constructionline assessment such as the new Common Assessment Standard, you\u2019ll be able to import your assessment results and evidence into your Builder\u2019s Profile as well, so that your chosen Main Contractors can see all of your assessments and underpinning information and documents through the Builder\u2019s Profile platform.
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t
Initially, at your request we\u2019re focussing on using your Profile to apply for Constructionline CAS assessment. Once this is up and running, we\u2019ll be looking to do the same for the Acclaim SSIP assessment.
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
For the foreseeable future the two services will continue to operate independently. This means that question sets will still be maintained by Builder\u2019s Profile in line with the questions our Main Contractors need to ask. However, our own Common Assessment Standard (CAS) question set will be brought into line with the Constructionline question set [as the whole industry looks to increase efficiencies and min common standards]. We expect that, over time, more and more of our BP Main Contractors will use this as the base for their own question sets.
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
YES. If you\u2019re a BP Premium Member, you will be able to use your Profile as the basis for your Constructionline assessment. The benefit of this transaction is that you\u2019ll also be able to import your assessment results and make them visible to the BP Main Contractor community.
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
Initially, we\u2019re focussing on using your existing Profile to apply for Constructionline CAS assessment in an efficient way. Once this is up and running, we\u2019ll be looking to do the same for the Acclaim SSIP assessment.
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
BP and CL are essentially different aspects of the same need for supply chain verification. Builder\u2019s Profile focuses on the collection, maintenance and dissemination of subcontractor compliance and capability information through its \u2018open-access Common Database\u2019. Constructionline is well-known as a leading provider of outsourced assessment services. Essentially, you should use Builder\u2019s Profile to maintain and share your compliance information with the BP community and beyond. You should use CL if you want or need to have your information independently assessed. In order to reach the widest possible marketplace you should consider using both services to present your assessed details.
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
Nothing will change in the foreseeable future. It is anticipated that the businesses will continue to operate separately, but there will be greater opportunities for customers to utilise both services.
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
YES. Everything about the current Builder\u2019s Profile service will continue, but you\u2019ll also have the opportunity to smoothly utilise Constructionline services alongside your current operational methods, should you choose to do so.
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
YES. The BP platform will continue to operate as it currently does. This means you will retain control over your question and rule sets. Some additional questions will be available if you want to use them, eg the Constructionline CAS question set.
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
The most obvious benefit is that, should you choose to, you will be able to combine the best of both services. For example, maintaining full supply chain information visibility while offering Common Assessment Standard (CAS) assessments using the same Profile data, thus saving considerable time and money for your supply chain. Builder\u2019s Profile will be retaining its own independent software development team so the features you want will still be our priority although now we will have access to greater resources. In general, the company will have a surer long-term financial stability which obviously reduces your risk exposure in choosing and continuing to use the Builder\u2019s Profile service.
