THE NEDZINK QUALIFIED INSTALLER SCHEME

Objective

The principal objective of the NedZink Qualified Installer Scheme (NQI) is delivering excellence for zinc roofing and cladding workmanship. Architects, their clients, main contractors and other stakeholders are reassured that installers having the NQI award are competent and capable to effectively deliver the highest levels of craftsmanship expected from the design.

Companies with a strong and proven track record in installing titanium zinc facades and roofs are eligible to be admitted to the NQI scheme.

In addition, companies are invited to provide evidence of previously completed NedZink projects that represented levels of competency, installed to industry expected standards and available for evaluation. Outside of the above a company may be considered to join the NQI scheme in exemplary circumstances based on their project submissions.
