To ensure the fundamental principles of AXS, Plannning and Associates Inc. (AXS) are more reliably implemented, our Tokyo Head Office, Tohoku Office, Kansai Office, Kyushu Office, and Chubu Office operate under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications.
Based on that philosophy, through the activities at each stage of design and supervision work related to the provision of "completed buildings," we aim to achieve "comprehensive quality" that rationally satisfies both the building's conformity to customer needs and its response to the needs of society.
Furthermore, to improve the company's fundamental strength and competitive edge, we will ensure the thorough implementation of a series of measures related to "operational execution," "information management," and "knowledge accumulation," thereby thoroughly enhancing operational efficiency and crisis management.
For this reason, we will carry out our operations under the following objectives.
- We accurately understand customer requirements and appropriately fulfill them.
- To improve customer satisfaction, we will enhance quality control capabilities both across and within each department.
- Regarding compliance (strict adherence to laws and the fulfillment of corporate social responsibility), which is a crucial element in crisis management, we aim for practical and highly transparent operational practices.
- Share knowledge gained from the execution of a series of tasks, and ensure the proper recording, storage, and management of operations.
- We will strengthen security for personal information, sales information, and other data by formulating and thoroughly communicating a security policy.
- We strive to continuously improve the effectiveness of the plan-do-check-act cycle, enhance risk management awareness in design activities, and improve business management.
- All employees of our company will keep these goals in mind and aim for practical, day-to-day implementation.

Quality Policy
AXS's mission is to tackle challenges at the human, regional, and global levels, and to envision the future of cities and architecture through the power of design.
Design means that the overall quality—encompassing the exterior, interior spaces, and details of architecture, as well as structural and environmental systems—must be beautiful, and that it is the proposal of new values to society through a repeated cycle of deeply exploring the essence of various social issues, setting one's own challenges, and formulating and verifying hypotheses.
AXS aims to "design social issues and create new value" through design work (basic design, detailed design) and supervision work. With a strong will and by bringing together the initiative and execution skills to act more than anyone else, we strive for the continuous improvement of the effectiveness of our quality management system, which ensures that buildings meet customer requirements and fulfill societal expectations.
Furthermore, to enhance the organization's strength and quality, we will ensure operational efficiency, information management, and knowledge accumulation, as well as thorough crisis management.
