Intertek's ATIC Advantage: The Assurance Differentiator in Construction Certainty

What if you could anticipate potential risks in your construction project before they occur? What if compliance, safety, and performance optimization were seamlessly integrated into every phase of a project?

While Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) services are crucial in construction, they often focus on compliance only after issues occur. This reactive approach can lead to costly delays and safety risks.

Intertek 's ATIC model provides a strategic advantage by placing Assurance at the core of its methodology, a key differentiator from traditional TIC services. This proactive approach helps prevent problems before they arise.

In the coming weeks, we will explore each component of ATIC, demonstrating how Assurance, Testing, Inspection, and Certification work together to strengthen construction projects from conception to completion.

The Four Cornerstones of ATIC

Intertek's ATIC model is built on the following four key elements that work together.

A: Assurance lays the groundwork for proactive risk management, offering early-stage consultations, data-driven forecasting, and regulatory oversight to help businesses stay ahead of potential challenges and avoid costly setbacks.

T: Testing evaluates building materials and structural components to confirm they meet regulatory, durability, and performance expectations using scientific analysis and real-world simulations.

I: Inspection provides independent, third-party verification, helping construction teams align with industry regulations, best practices, and project requirements to maintain quality and safety.

C: Certification offers globally recognized credentials that demonstrate quality, regulatory compliance, and sustainability standards, helping businesses expand into new markets and gain industry approvals.
