Any ISO 9001 consultants/auditors in Oahu, Hawaii ?

[hawaii]

Hello, I've been working on an ISO 9001:2008 documentation for an architectural firm in house past year.

We have a quality manual and are seeking guidance or direction to have the company audited and certified. So far in my google search, most of the audit consultants are on the continental United States.

So, how should a firm in Hawaii take the next step to ISO 9001:2008 to be audited and certified?

Please advise. Any help is great appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I could be convinced to discount my fee if your firm covers my travel, lodging, and meals!

There is an auditor in Hawaii (ISO / Aerospace) - he works for TUV.

Send me a PM and I can give his name and e-mail - need to protect his privacy.

Review Consultant vs. Auditor - usually, auditors do NOT consult (if they are busy auditors)

Auditors who consult have barred themselves as auditors for that client - is that a good or a bad thing?

I know several people who do both. It's not uncommon.

Not necessarily; usually there's a specified period of time between consulting and auditing for a specific client.
