We’re proud to have maintained our Chartered Building Company status with the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) for more than 20 years. As a medium-sized construction business, this long-standing recognition reflects our commitment to professionalism, quality, and integrity in every project we deliver.

From our early days of incorporation, we’ve grown steadily while maintaining a strong focus on quality and client satisfaction, delivering a wide range of projects - from residential modernisations to complex commercial refurbishments - all guided by the principles that underpin our CIOB Chartered status.

As a medium-sized enterprise, we combine the personal attention and care of a close-knit team with the professional standards expected of larger corporate organisations. Our CIOB Chartered status demonstrates that we consistently deliver projects with strong corporate governance, effective project and risk management, rigorous health and safety compliance, robust quality assurance, and ethical business practices, all supported by ongoing professional development for our staff.

Our projects and clients illustrate this commitment. For example, we have successfully delivered major works for the University of the West of England at Mendip Court and Glenside Campus, completing projects on time and within budget while minimising disruption for staff and students through meticulous planning and professional project management. We have also undertaken significant heritage works for Bath and North East Somerset Council, including projects at 21 Milsom Street, West Gate Street, Abbey Church Yard, and Bath’s House of Fraser ‘Jolly’s’, where our teams combined modern construction techniques with careful attention to health, safety, and quality. These projects showcase the high standards expected of a CIOB Chartered company and reflect our long-standing commitment to delivering excellent results across a range of complex and sensitive sites.

Our people are also at the heart of this success. We invest heavily in training and professional development, including SMSTS and SSSTS certification, health and safety courses, first aid, project management programs, and technical upskilling. This ensures our teams remain highly skilled, knowledgeable, and capable of delivering every project safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards.

What CIOB Chartered Building Status Means
The Chartered Institute of Building is a globally recognised professional body dedicated to advancing construction excellence and leadership. Becoming a Chartered Building Company requires demonstrating best-in-class management practices, robust quality assurance, and a commitment to ethical and sustainable operations.

For our clients, working with a CIOB Chartered company provides reassurance that every project is managed professionally, with quality, safety, and compliance at the forefront. It also ensures that our teams operate transparently and consistently, backed by the expertise and resources of a respected global professional body.

While the CIOB’s directory lists over 500 Chartered companies worldwide, (230 in the United Kingdom) most are larger corporate organisations. Medium-sized, family-run companies like NKS make up only a small proportion of this elite group, making this accreditation both prestigious and rare. For our clients and partners, it’s a clear signal that they are working with a company dedicated to long-term excellence, ethical practice, and professional standards in every aspect of construction.
