Buildoffsite Registration Scheme

The Buildoffsite Registration Scheme operated by the Lloyd's Register Group is a process based assessment scheme designed to benchmark offsite construction organisations against best practice in terms of competency, methodology and safety. The scheme serves as the vehicle for the standardisation of best practice across the offsite industry.

The Buildoffsite Registration Scheme ensures best practice within the offsite construction industry in terms of the safe and competent delivery of a product or service which meets client requirements. The scheme covers the design, manufacture, construction and project management activities and focuses on the process of delivery as well as the delivered product.
