Equifax is supportive of the findings of the NSW Building Confidence report and the recent legislation put in place to enable the Building Commissioner’s Office’s ‘six pillars’ programme.
Equifax has been working for almost a year alongside industry on developing the ‘independent Construction Industry Rating Tool (iCIRT)’ as a way to gain more insight, trust and transparency of the players in the building industry.
ACRA members have been part of this collaborative development, and are well-placed to be some of the first users of iCIRT.
The tool can be used to rate your own business (ie. single-party) and then be used to differentiate your business from others in the industry, or benchmark against the industry as a whole. This will be available in the last quarter of 2020.
It will also be able to be used to rate a connected network of building professionals (ie. multi-party) as part of a due-diligence process undertaken before contracts are entered into. This will be available to industry in the later part of 2021.
This presentation introduces the iCIRT tool, its journey, vision and what can be done today. The conversation will enable Q+A by ACRA members about the iCIRT tool.
Your presenters are: Pamela Bell and Brad Walters.
Pamela is a business founder, former Chief Executive and independent construction innovation consultant, start-up business advisor and governance professional. She has been working with the Equifax team and a broad group of industry stakeholders since October 2019 to assist with development of Equifax’s iCIRT tool.
