We at Foundations Archaeology are vitally concerned with the quality and reliability of our service, because our reputation depends so much on this, augmented by our ability to carry out the service at the right time and at the right price.

Quality is maintained and enhanced by working in a systematic and flexible manner to procedures designed to control and eliminate the occurrence of non-conformances.

It is the responsibility of the Directors to ensure that all such procedures are clearly documented and implemented.

These are submitted to the appropriate departments within the company for implementation.
