Quality Control (QC) is a system of measuring and maintaining construction standards during the activities associated with the erection of a structure by conducting observations and comparing the results of the observations on site to pre-determined construction standards. Once a deviation in a construction standard is observed it is essential to act and repair the non conformance which if done throughout the building process ensures that defects are minimized and repaired and quality standards are maintained during the project life cycle.
Multiple sub-contractors are employed to bring a home to completion and the Home Builder is the person on site supervising the sub-contactors and should ensure that the quality of workmanship is measured and maintained and that the necessary certification or quality guarantees are issued by the relevant authority or contractor. In order to create a greater awareness between all the role players involved in a building project a simple system of measurement is required in order to maintain and focus attention on quality specifications and standards.
Through regular measurement and comparison of construction standards during the wet work phase of the project and understanding of acceptable levels of quality that should be delivered by sub-contractors we continuously strive to maintain standards and reduce the snag list, which is normally compiled at the end of the project. However, in process inspection provides information enabling the Home Builder to apply remedial action during the construction process as opposed to completion of the element under construction. The cycle of Planning – Doing – Checking – Acting is continuous and is proactive in approach in stead of reactive in nature. The function of Quality Control has an impact on workmanship because it creates awareness and places a spot light on the deviations from the specifications.
Structural Integrity Inspections
Structural integrity is the ability of an item – either a structural component or a structure consisting of many components – to hold together under load, including its own weight, without breaking or deforming excessively.

Here’s how project management benefits your home project:
- Crystal Clear Vision: Imagine a roadmap for your entire project. A Gantt chart lays out every task, from foundation pouring to final inspections, in a clear and visual way. This allows everyone involved – homeowner, builder, architect – to be on the same page from the very beginning.
- Effortless Task Management: No more scrambling to remember what needs to be done next. A Gantt chart breaks down your project into manageable chunks, assigning estimated timelines to each step. This keeps everyone focused and contributes to a smooth workflow.
- Smarter Resource Allocation: See exactly how your resources, like materials and manpower, will be utilized throughout the project. This allows for better planning and avoids costly delays or bottlenecks.
- Collaboration Made Easy: A shared Gantt chart fosters open communication between all parties involved. Everyone can see the progress, identify potential roadblocks, and proactively address them before they become issues.
- Peace of Mind & Informed Decisions: With a clear view of the project timeline, you can anticipate upcoming milestones and make informed choices. This empowers you to manage your expectations and budget effectively.
