Industry recognition for financially
viable and technically capable contractors working in the Northern Territory's
building and construction sector.
|
Why register?The Northern Territory government requires CAL accreditation as a
prequalification for most contractors and sub contractors seeking work
above the value of $50,000. Other clients have followed the government's
lead and are giving preference to accredited contractors and sub
contractors. CAL accreditation is therefore a strong marketing tool for
businesses seeking work in the Territory. On a wider scale, CAL
accreditation provides a framework for the building and construction
industry to regulate itself by applying its own standards. This helps
provide a level playing field for genuine contractors. The scheme has been designed to work for competent and capable
contractors and sub contractors in a straightforward and transparent way.
Some 1900 businesses have sought accreditation since CAL was established
in February 1995. Nearly two thirds have achieved the ratings that they
sought, with most others gaining lower ratings. To date, 65 businesses
have either failed to meet CAL's criteria and been refused accreditation
or have failed to maintain appropriate standards and have had their
accreditation withdrawn. |
