Constructionline application help across the UK
Constructionline Application Support for UK Contractors
If a buyer has asked for Constructionline, we help turn the requirement into a clear evidence plan and support your application from document review through assessor queries.
For established UK SMEs and contractors working across construction and related supply chains.
A clear first step
Send us your contractor’s or buyer’s requirement
We will use a free 15–20 minute initial call to clarify what has been requested and whether we are likely to be able to help. A detailed document review, gap analysis or written action plan is paid work with an agreed scope.

- Clarify the likely Silver, Gold or Platinum requirement

- Organise the submission and highlight outstanding actions
- Help address verification queries; prepare for a Platinum site-based audit if included

Plan the work
Constructionline cost, requirements and timescale
These are the practical questions to resolve before appointing a consultant or committing to an assessment.
How much does Constructionline support cost?
Our consultancy support starts from £295. The agreed fee depends on scope, sites, complexity, existing evidence and the work required. Constructionline membership, verification and audit fees are separate.
View indicative pricing →What will your business need?
You need accurate business information, evidence of controls that are genuinely in use and documents appropriate to the requested scope. The list above is a starting point, not a universal checklist.
Send the exact requirement →How long will the process take?
There is no responsible fixed answer before reviewing your starting point. Timing depends on missing evidence, implementation work, your team’s availability and the independent assessor or certification body.
Request an initial check →Is UKAS relevant to this application?
Constructionline is not an ISO management-system certificate issued by Barlow & Co. Follow the wording set by your buyer and check the scheme’s own assessment requirements.
Ask us to review the wording →What should an accreditation consultant do?
A consultant should clarify the scope, identify gaps, prepare only the agreed documentation and help organise evidence. They should also explain what remains your responsibility and never imply that they control the assessor’s decision.

Important distinction
Application support is separate from assessment
Barlow & Co is an independent consultancy. We do not issue certificates, memberships or approvals and are not the assessment body. The relevant scheme or certification body makes the final decision and controls its assessment timetable.
No guaranteed outcomeWe improve preparation but never promise approval.
Separate feesOur consultancy fee does not include scheme, membership or audit fees.
Agreed scopeDeliverables, assumptions and fees are confirmed before paid work begins.
FAQs
Constructionline application questions
Send the exact wording from your client, buyer or assessor if your situation is not covered here.
What is the difference between Constructionline Gold and Platinum?
Gold is tailored to the Common Assessment Standard question set. Platinum requires successful Gold verification and adds an in-person audit of how policies and procedures are implemented at your registered premises.
Do I need Constructionline Silver, Gold or Platinum?
That depends on the buyer or tender. Send us the exact requirement before purchasing support so we can help you avoid preparing for the wrong level.
Can Barlow & Co approve my Constructionline application?
No. Constructionline and its appointed assessors make all verification and audit decisions. Our role is application preparation and support.
