ProQM supports fabricators, constructors, and supply chain partners to achieve and maintain compliance with AS/NZS 5131 and AS/NZS ISO 3834, not just on paper, but in the way your business actually operates.
We specialise in audit preparation, system enhancements, and implementation support for CC2 and CC3 objectives, helping organisations move from “we think we’re compliant” to confident, and ready to be audited.
We don’t act as the certifier. We work on your side to prepare, structure, test, and strengthen your systems so you’re ready when the auditor arrives.
What We Do
We provide end-to-end support across:
AS/NZS 5131 (Structural Steelwork – CC2 & CC3)
AS/NZS ISO 3834 (Quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials)
Integration with ISO 9001 and project / client specifications
Alignment with VicRoads, TfNSW, MTIA and major project requirements (where applicable)
Our focus is practical compliance systems that match how your workshop, site, and supply chain actually operate.
Gap Analysis & Audit Readiness
We start by understanding where you really stand.
- Detailed gap analysis against AS/NZS 5131 and/or AS/NZS ISO 3834
- Construction Category Class (CC2 / CC3) readiness assessment
- Clause-by-clause system and process mapping
- Identification of priority risks, gaps, and audit exposure
- Clear, staged remediation plans (not just a list of problems)
- Pre-audit readiness reviews and “mock audit” style checks
This gives you a clear, defendable pathway to certification or re-certification.

Systems, Procedures & Templates
We help you build or refine the core compliance framework needed to pass and sustain audits.
This typically includes:
- Quality Management Plans and fabrication control procedures
- Welding management systems aligned to ISO 3834
- WPS / PQR / Welder qualification frameworks
- Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs) and hold point regimes
- Material traceability systems and registers
- NCR, corrective action, and continuous improvement processes
- Supplier and subcontractor control procedures
- Record-keeping, registers, and audit evidence structures
Implementation & Coaching
Good systems only work if people understand and use them.
We provide:
- Hands-on implementation support
- Practical coaching for supervisors, QA, and welding coordination personnel
- Support embedding processes into workshop and site workflows
- Assistance setting up registers, templates, and document control
- Ongoing advisory support during uplift or transition periods
The goal is real adoption, not shelf documents.
Audit Support (Auditee Side)
We support you before, during, and after external audits.
This includes:
- Audit planning and preparation support
- Evidence collation and structuring
- Management system and clause mapping packs
- On-site or remote support during audits
- Support responding to non-conformances
- Close-out planning and verification
- Post-audit improvement and optimisation
We do not act as the auditor.
We act as your technical and strategic partner to help you present your system clearly, confidently, and credibly.
