Quality assurance is necessary for successful building outcomes. Quality assurance of all work should occur at all stages throughout the building process, from project inception to final commissioning and handover. This enables the early identification and remediation of any shortcomings in design and construction, resulting in efficiencies and savings in project delivery. It is also a very good way to demonstrate the quality of work. For us QA would be NDT of key structural elements. We at CSI believe that having a real grasp on the way a building or structure is being built is paramount to any engineer, designer or owner. The use of early QA helps ensure that contractors and installers work to the highest possible standard.
QA should be undertaken frequently and randomly throughout the entire construction stage for example:
Well…why wouldn’t you? We are involved so often in jobs where if some measures where put in place to carry out some independent QA there very likely wouldn’t be any need for us to be involved in the project at a later stage. We are seeing time and time again the massive expense and time that is being spent on post construction investigations, legal disputes and remediation works. QA undertaken randomly and frequently will have a positive impact on construction quality, it will also allow demonstration of the quality of work as well as catching issues at a point in which they can be remediated more cost effectively.
