New system
6 weeks
Gap analysis through management review. ISO 9001, or 9001 and 45001 when the bids ask for both.

Is your quality system a little scary?

Why shops call
Stay audit-ready for the work that pays.
- 01
Keep the contracts
Oil and gas customers ask for a certificate. Stay on the list that pays.
- 02
Stay on bid lists
A current system is the difference between a bid that is opened and one that is not.
- 03
Less rework, safer shop
ISO 9001 for the work. ISO 45001 for the people doing it.
The engagement
Six pieces. No mystery phases.
People, processes, compliance, results. Stronger systems and a shop that can explain them. That is the whole offer.
01Gap analysis
A walk of the floor and the paperwork. You leave knowing what an auditor will find, in plain language.
02QMS documentation
Procedures written for your jobs. Not a generic template with the logo swapped.
03Implementation support
The system goes live with the people who have to use it, on a schedule that doesn’t shut the shop down.
04Employee training
Short and specific, so the crew can explain the process without reading from a script.
05Internal audits
A dry run before the real one, with findings you can actually close.
06Management reviews
The meeting the standard requires, run so it produces decisions instead of minutes nobody reads.
Plan
Map the gaps against how the shop really runs.
Do
Write the system and put it into the work.
Check
Audit it before an outsider does.
Act
Close findings and keep the review honest.
Published September 16, 2026
ISO 9001:2026 is here. You do not start over.
If you are already certified, the new version is a revision of the system you have — typically three to four days, on your calendar, fast and friendly. If you are not certified yet, a full system can be in place in as little as six weeks.
Already certified
3–4 days
A clause-by-clause refresh to ISO 9001:2026. Your certificate stays. The system catches up.
Oil & gas and the shop
Written for yards, fab floors, and field crews.
- Keep your oil and gas contracts.
- Stay on bid lists.
- Less rework. A safer shop.
Flexible scheduling that works around the work — not a program that expects the crew to stop for a week of classroom slides.
One minute
Which path fits the shop?
Four questions. A straight recommendation: a new system, the 2026 update, or both. Then send it to Melissa with the consult request.
Question 1 of 4
Where is the quality system today?
The consultant
Melissa Brewer. Not a committee.
Melissa Brewer Consulting & Compliance is a Houston practice. You work with Melissa — ISO consultant — from the gap analysis to the management review. Professional, efficient, and priced as the lowest-cost ISO consultant in the Houston area.
The standard is the standard. The difference is a system your crew will follow after she leaves, and a schedule that respects the shop.
Guiding compliance. Building confidence.
Straight answers
How fast can a new system be ready?
As little as six weeks, from gap analysis through a system the crew can run. The clock depends on how available the shop is, not on a stack of templates.
We’re already certified. Do we start over for 2026?
No. ISO 9001:2026 was published September 16, 2026. For a company that already holds the certificate, the update is typically three to four days.
Do you only do ISO 9001?
ISO 9001 and ISO 45001. Quality and occupational health and safety — the pair oil and gas customers usually ask for together.
Will this shut the shop down?
No. Scheduling is flexible and works around the shop. Training is short. The point is a system people use on the job, not a week of classroom time.
Are you the registrar?
No. MBC&C is the consultant. Melissa builds and updates the system and prepares you for the certification audit. An accredited registrar issues the certificate.
Where do you work?
The Houston area, with shops, yards, and field crews. The first conversation is free through October 31.
