Quality assurance ensures the delivery of quality products and prevents defects by implementing planned and systematic activities over the course of the project. A QA program consists of rigorous measures that aim not only to ensure construction code compliance and safety, but also to save money and time related to substandard quality on site. It also establishes benchmarks and provides means of continuous improvement. Its steps are carried out ‘before the fact’, not after it.

When applied effectively, a QA program provides confidence and assurance that the quality of workmanship and materials incorporated into the project comply with requirements and specifications of the plan.
Crucial benefits of QA include:
Fulfilling quality requirements, codes and regulations
When designing a building, it’s important to identify the requirements of the design and adhere to local and state codes and standards. To achieve quality construction, every builder should realize the significance of investing in a comprehensive QA plan. QA consultants are familiar with construction and building laws, codes, and regulations. They will make certain that the highest industry standards are applied every step of the way.
Ensuring that quality materials are used on site and solid workmanship is achieved
An effective independent quality assurance program encompasses all construction activities and materials so that they requirements and achieve the structure’s performance goals. An experienced QA team can not only perform a third-party review of the plan, but also conduct a site inspection and provide a constructability analysis.
