FAQs

​

What is Constructionline accreditation?

Constructionline is a UK supplier and procurement platform used by buyers and contractors to find and assess suppliers. Membership allows construction businesses to demonstrate that key company, health & safety and compliance information has been verified, with the level of assessment depending on the Constructionline membership selected.

​

What are the different Constructionline membership levels?

Constructionline offers Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum membership levels, with the compliance and verification requirements increasing at each level.

Bronze provides verified membership and SSIP, Silver adds further supplier verification including Corporate & Professional Standing, Gold includes the Common Assessment Standard and Building Safety Act Assessments, and Platinum adds an on-site audit.

​

What is the difference between Constructionline Bronze, Silver and Gold?

The main difference is the level of verification and compliance evidence required.

Bronze is suited to businesses requiring SSIP and basic verified membership.

Silver provides a broader level of supplier verification and includes Corporate & Professional Standing.

Gold is a much more comprehensive assessment and includes the Common Assessment Standard and Building Safety Act Assessments.

The right level will usually depend on the requirements of your clients, tenders and supply chains.

​

How much does Constructionline application support cost?

MJones Compliance provides Constructionline application support with document creation included.

Constructionline Bronze – from £420
Constructionline Silver – £555
Constructionline Gold – £620

Renewal support is also available.

These are my service fees for managing your accreditation application and are separate from any membership or assessment fees charged directly by Constructionline.

​

Can you complete my Constructionline application for me?

Yes. I can manage your Constructionline application from start to finish, including completing the application, reviewing your existing evidence, uploading documentation, preparing required policies and procedures and helping to resolve assessor queries.

The aim is to make achieving Constructionline accreditation as straightforward as possible while you concentrate on running your business.

​

Are policies and documents included in your Constructionline application fee?

Yes. Required document creation is included within my Constructionline accreditation support fee.

I'll first review the documentation you already have. If additional policies, procedures or supporting evidence are required for your application, I'll prepare what's needed rather than charging separately for every individual document.

​

What documents do I need for Constructionline Gold?

The exact evidence required will depend on your business, activities and circumstances. Constructionline Gold involves a more comprehensive assessment and can require evidence across areas including health & safety, environmental management, quality management, equality and diversity, corporate and professional standing, corporate social responsibility and Building Safety Act requirements.

You don't need to work out everything you need before contacting me. I'll review your application and existing documentation and identify any gaps.

​

Does Constructionline Gold include the Common Assessment Standard?

Yes. Constructionline Gold provides the desktop Common Assessment Standard assessment, subject to successfully meeting the applicable requirements.

This can be particularly important for contractors looking to work within the supply chains of larger construction businesses and buyers that require the Common Assessment Standard.

​

Does Constructionline include SSIP?

Constructionline's relevant membership options include access to its Once For All Health & Safety SSIP assessment.

If SSIP is your main requirement, I can help determine whether Constructionline Bronze or another SSIP Member Scheme would be the most appropriate route for your business.

​

How long does a Constructionline application take?

My standard turnaround for preparing a Constructionline accreditation application is approximately one week, subject to receiving the required information from your business.

A 48-hour express service is available for an additional £75 where you need your application prepared urgently.

Assessment and approval times after submission are controlled by Constructionline and can vary.

​

Can you help with Constructionline renewals?

Yes. I provide Constructionline renewal support for existing members.

I'll review your account, update expired or outdated evidence, prepare any documentation required for the new assessment period and support you with the renewal process.

​

How much does a Constructionline renewal cost?

My current Constructionline renewal support prices are:

Constructionline Bronze – £350
Constructionline Silver – £430
Constructionline Gold – £555

Document reviews and required updates are included as part of the service.

​

I've already started my Constructionline application. Can you take over?

Yes. You don't have to be starting from scratch.

If you've already begun your Constructionline application or received assessor queries requesting further evidence, I can review what's been completed, identify what is outstanding and help get the application back on track.

​

My Constructionline application has come back with assessor queries. Can you help?

Yes. Assessor queries are a normal part of many accreditation applications.

I can review the feedback, prepare amended responses or additional supporting evidence and help resolve outstanding Constructionline assessment queries.

​

Do I need Constructionline Gold to work with main contractors?

Not every main contractor requires Constructionline Gold, so you should always check the specific requirements of the client, tender or supply chain you're applying to.

However, Gold is commonly relevant where buyers require a higher level of supplier verification or the Common Assessment Standard.

​

Is Constructionline Gold worth it for a small construction company?

It can be. The right membership isn't necessarily determined by the size of your business; it depends more on who you want to work for and what their procurement requirements are.

A smaller contractor looking to enter larger supply chains may need Gold, while another business may only require Bronze or Silver.

​

I'm not sure which Constructionline level I need. Can you help?

Absolutely. If you've simply been told you need "Constructionline" and aren't sure whether you need Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum, send me the client or tender requirements.

I can help you identify the appropriate level before you start the application, so you don't pay for a higher membership than you need or apply for a level that doesn't meet your client's requirements.
