The story begins in 2008 when an Engineer in the role of Quality Systems Manager while assessing Contractors' management systems, identified a need in the marketplace for a pre-written document that contractors could use to create their own compliant management systems without knowing anything about legislation or Australian standards.
Keeping in mind that an average construction contractor would not be able to write a management system on their own or hiring consultants would be an expensive option, he created the simplest documentation template ever created based on the idea that simplicity leads to easier and quicker successful compliance for all.
