Civil Contractors Federation

What is the civil construction management code?

Designed by the Australian Civil Contractors Federation (CCF), civil construction management is a framework based on international standards for quality (ISO 9001), safety (ISO 45001), and environmental management (ISO 14001). The Civil Contractor Federation is a standard aimed at organisations who are looking to expand their business through government tenders.  What are some of the benefits of the Civil Contractor Federation management system scheme?
