Downes Associates has an ISO 9000: 2008 approved system to control quality of design, review of designs, checking of design calculations and checking of drawings. This quality policy is implemented by means of our procedures documents, which contain guidelines and standard forms to ensure that design solutions have been appropriately checked and reviewed as required by ISO9000 certification. Objectives and Goals are updated and reviewed to allow the Company to continually improve and the quality policy is continually reviewed to ensure it always meets the objectives of the organisation.

Downes Associates senior staff holds regular monthly in-house project meetings to review future personnel resources to ensure that all active projects are staffed satisfactorily. These review meetings highlight potential forthcoming peaks or troughs in demand for resources thus allowing the managed allocation of forecasted resources on a week by week basis. 

In conjunction with the above, Downes Associates senior staff holds regular monthly in-house managerial meetings. The purpose of these meeting is to monitor, discuss and amend technical library, computer equipment and software, membership of relevant institutions, COD and to generally share and discuss engineering ideas to ensure the delivery of consistent high quality engineering design from the organisation.
