Why choose a RIDBA member?

RIDBA insists on CE/UKCA marking compliance as a condition of frame manufacturer membership of the association, so choosing a frame manufacturer member guarantees that the steelwork fabricator has the necessary certification to comply with the requirements of the Construction Products Regulations.

RIDBA membership is a recognised mark of quality and identifies companies as part of an elite group of professional and reputable market leaders. All RIDBA members sign up to a code of practice each year when they renew their membership demonstrating a high standard of competence.

RIDBA members have access to three industry-leading consultants who provide expert advice and guidance on technical, building design and health and safety matters. This leads to higher-quality buildings and construction outcomes for end users, ensuring safety, longevity, and efficiency.

RIDBA members agree to provide their clients with professional and clear advice. Their written quotations will plainly state the price for the work, what is included and what form of agreement or contract will be used. The member company shall check all its own work and shall ensure that all work is of a professional standard and carried out in a safe and timely manner.

RIDBA members must hold adequate insurance, demonstrate financial stability and have a proven trading record. In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, RIDBA has a clear and fair complaints procedure.

All RIDBA members are committed to working to an acceptable health and safety plan and in accordance with relevant industry standards. They will have an adequately supervised, trained and qualified workforce and when working at height they will ensure that the appropriate equipment is used on site at all times.
