Quality ISO 9001:2015 (AS/NZS ISO 9001:2016)

Implementing ISO 9001:2008 enables us to strive for Continuous Improvement for our Companies Quality management System which helps us meet our customers’ expectations.

Our QMS is a set of policies, procedures and processes for planning and executing development, customer service and production in our manufacturing facility.

We ensure all our employees receive relative training for their position, conduct six monthly audits on all aspects of our business. We undertake surveillance audits and report all activities in our ISO system. Once a year we undergo external auditing from two separate companies

Quality is our main focus and we want to be known for it. Our buildings do not go out without a thorough building check. Everything from the roof anchor points to the cold water taps are checked. Our Quality Procedures are specific and updated regularly.

Having the right staff for each position is a major part of our achievements. All staff are competent in using the ISO system and are constantly finding new improvements to upgrade our procedures. In having an all hands on deck approach it gives staff confidence and respect for the system. We ensure that Management are always demonstrating best practices and providing support, guidance and help to office and factory staff along the way.

Repeat business is just as important as finding new clientele. We send monthly customer satisfaction surveys to make sure we are meeting needs and expectations. We have had long client relationship with most of our big customers. Which demonstrates trust, good pricing and good quality product.

Whether we are selling our product or service its regulated by our system and we make sure it meets all Australian Standards. It’s another reason we won the NSW Small Business of the Year award in 2012, along with the Central Coast Small Business of the Year, Manufacturer of the Year and Excellence in Small Business.

Environmental ISO 14001:2015 (AS/NZS ISO 14001:2016)

Reducing greenhouse emissions with Sustainable building

IPB takes our environmental accountabilities very seriously. We continually upgrade our ISO Environmental systems with new recycling ideas and waste reduction methods.

Our portable buildings are energy efficient, ecofriendly and we use recyclable materials when available. Use of thermal properties in cladding, insulation, roofing and reflective colours all help with energy efficiency by cooling in summer and keeping warmer in winter.

Our staff and contractors are educated in the policies and procedures for sustainability.  We use long life materials that are recyclable and make an effort to source environmentally conscious suppliers where possible.

Thinking Green

Locating the buildings in the right north, easterly orientation of the sun, ventilating it accurately and insulating it properly while using energy efficient appliances, cooling shade structures and breezeways will give you overall improved thermal efficiency.

The waste materials from the manufacture of our portable buildings are re used in our building programme. We also recycle all timber decks and roof over materials from one job to another.

IPB provides for commercial and domestic clients. Offering a large range of products and services. We custom design and build a range of portable buildings to suit your requirements whatever size, quality and efficiency you entail.
