GEM’s gold standards in building quality, environmental stewardship and construction safety.

Every decision we make and every brick we lay is backed by our uncompromising commitment to quality, environmental integrity and the highest safety standards. These are the foundations of every structure and partnership we build.

Quality

At GEM, quality is paramount. We operate under the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system standards, ensuring that our work aligns with top industry benchmarks. Our approach isn’t just about meeting standards, though – it’s about exceeding expectations.

To do this, we have a comprehensive system of strategic documents and procedures to meet the needs and expectations of our valued clients, design teams and stakeholders. Our focus is always to maximise satisfaction, mitigate potential risks and achieve the highest possible quality.

ISO 9001:2015 is a set of systems and principles that tie together business objectives and client needs to ensure our projects are managed using a robust, cohesive and generic set of management procedures. This empowers our team to consistently deliver an outstanding level of service, aligned to GEM’s core values and ethos.

Environment

We’re not just constructing buildings – we’re building a sustainable future. Recognised and certified under ISO 14001:2015, we’re determined and committed to reducing our environmental impact. Our goal is simple but ambitious: to champion eco-friendly practices at every turn. 

From minimising waste destined for landfills, tapping into sustainable energy sources and prioritising locally-sourced materials to practising green procurement, we aim to continually shrink our carbon footprint. For us, every step towards a greener planet is a step towards a brighter tomorrow.

Health & Safety

At GEM, people come first. The health, safety, and well-being of our team, clients, and the surrounding community is our foremost priority. Every project we undertake is rooted in a commitment to create and maintain an environment where safety isn’t just prioritised – it’s ingrained in our culture.

Proudly certified to ISO 45001:2018, our approach to occupational health and safety goes beyond meeting standards – it’s about cultivating a mindset. Every member of our team is empowered and encouraged to champion safety. Our ethos is clear: if you “See It, Stop It, Solve It.” This encourages everyone to take personal responsibility, address potential hazards and ensure people return home safely at the end of the day.

With leadership from a dedicated Company Director and expert management from our EHS Manager, bolstered by a team of on-site EHS Advisers, GEM is unwavering in our promise to uphold and advance safety standards in every aspect of our work.

Our dedication to creating a safe work environment has earned us awards, including a Distinction from the National Irish Safety Organisation (NISO).

Our Health and Safety Commitment

Our best tool for health and safety is open communication. If unsure, always ask.
