Director, Building Certification Systems

The Company

In 2006 Buildaform launched its automated inspection and certificate production system for private certifiers. Since this beginning, Envoy Advanced Technologies has been the technological backbone of Buildaform technology.

In 2013, Envoy went one step further and brought Buildaform alongside it, under common ownership, and began the drive to expand and improve the suite of products available to certifiers. Most importantly, Buildaform and Envoy began an extensive development program to improve the delivery of the expanded suite of products, the level of service, and the range of devices through which the products can be accessed in the cloud.

Reflecting these advances, 2014 saw the retirement of the “Buildaform” name for “Building Certification Systems” (BCS), and the launch of the new product suite: BCS Office, BCS Mobile, BCS Councils and BCS Pools.

In 2023 we rebranded to Building Compliance Systems to more align our brand to the software we provide. With new advances in technology and expanding our software into new industry sectors, the re-brand is seen as a positive step in the growth of BCS.

As BCS’s technology partner, Envoy continues to aggressively drive and support the continued evolution of the products.  That evolution is informed by BCS’ continued discussions with its customers about their on-the-ground needs and experiences.

BCS’ underlying product strategy is that its products are for building sector professionals, with their input ensuring development suits each industry sector’s needs.  That is why its staff includes people who were once part of the building industry.  BCS understands its customers industry, because BCS is part of that industry.
