Quality Control Process

Quality control processes on construction projects involve both quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC). [1] QC is typically performed by the contractor to ensure work complies with contract requirements, while QA involves third parties checking that QC processes are working properly. [2] Effective QC requires a detailed plan for each aspect of work, approved testing labs, and a three-phase inspection system involving preparatory, initial, and follow-up inspections to ensure standards are met. [3] QC activities are documented in a management system including non-compliance reports, test results, and other records.

Material Quality control and production

** quality control process (QA/qc) **


 Construction Quality Control Process: It is very important to have a good quality
control process on a project. Depending on the project or the client or executing agent for
construction the QC/QA process could be very proscriptive. A government organization
like the Corps of Engineers or DOT will have very clear guidance on what is required per
contract as far as the QA/QC goes.
QC – Usually the contractor(or a third party) is responsible for
performing Quality Control (QC) which is ultimately just making
sure that they are completing the work safely and in compliance
with the contract.
QA – Usually the Government or outside third party is responsible
for performing Quality Assurance (QA). QA is spot checking
contract compliance, test results, and ultimately just making sure
that the Quality Control Processes is working.

 Quality Control (QC) – Depends on the contract but best practices


require;
• The Construction Contract defines the quality standards and the
QC testing requirements
• The contractor must prepare a detailed quality control plan for
each definable feature of work detailing how the quality
standards will be achieved. The plan must be approved before
work can begin.
• The contract requires that the QC testing lab be validated by the
approved source
• Employs Three-Phase Inspection System
– Preparatory : Before the work starts the QC manager
conducts a meeting to go over all the approved submittals, work
plan, safety plan, etc with all parties involved in order to make
sure the feature of work is ready to begin and makes sure
everyone is on the same page.
– Initial: As the work is beginning the QC manager conducts an
inspection of the work to make sure the work is being performed
as plan. The crew is working safely and with the correct
material.
– Follow-up: Throughout the work the QC manager conducts I
nspection as per contract and as required.
• Document QC activities into a Management System which includes;
1. Non compliance Reports
2. RFIs (Request for information)
3. Change orders requests
4. Safety violations
5. Daily field reports
6. Test results
