CAAS

A simple framework for managing built environment standards and demonstrating compliance.

If you can measure it, you can manage it

If you subscribe to the idea that a business should always strive to be better, then measuring is important. CAAS makes measuring compliance with built-environment standards easy.

With CAAS metrics, you can plot your current level of compliance, pinpoint areas for improvement, measure progress towards your compliance targets, compare your organisation objectively to others, and share best practice with peers.

Features of the CAAS application

Rate compliance

Rate your organisation against statements from the CAAS compliance statement bank. Responses can be given at both the organisational level, or per physical site.

Manage actions

The CAAS application allows you to create, allocate, track and manage actionable tasks, moving your organisation forward towards its compliance targets.
