Building Confidence in Construction: How iCIRT is Redefining Trust in the Industry

As the construction industry continues to rebuild confidence across Australia, independent verification has never been more important. At Newton Fisher Group, we’re proud to support the drive for greater transparency and accountability through our iCIRT Advisory brand.

What is iCIRT and Why It Matters

iCIRT, an independent rating system developed by Equifax, provides an impartial assessment of a business’s capability, character, and capital. It helps industry participants — from financiers and developers to homeowners — make more informed decisions about who they work with.

A strong iCIRT rating isn’t just a badge of credibility; it’s a mark of trust that demonstrates your commitment to quality, governance, and financial integrity.

How Newton Fisher Group and iCIRT Advisory Work Together

Through iCIRT Advisory, Newton Fisher Group extends its 50-year legacy of trusted quantity surveying into the new era of construction ratings. Our team provides strategic support for:

  • Rating readiness assessments — helping businesses prepare for an iCIRT review
  • Documentation and evidence support — ensuring your submission aligns with Equifax standards
  • Continuous improvement programs — strengthening governance, compliance, and operational transparency

Together, we help clients move confidently through the iCIRT process, ensuring they not only achieve their rating but maintain it as the industry evolves.

Leading the Push for a Better Built Environment

Being proudly iCIRT-rated, we’re setting the benchmark for integrity and excellence in the sector. Our mission is to help shape a stronger, safer, and more trustworthy construction landscape, one rating at a time.
