Kick-Off and Initial Planning

Our QA/QC process begins at project initiation, where we establish clear quality expectations with our clients. This stage includes defining critical success factors, outlining inspection criteria, and setting up quality benchmarks that will guide the project.

Regular Quality Inspections and Documentation

Our team conducts regular inspections at each project phase, from foundation to finishing. Every inspection is documented, and any issues are addressed immediately, ensuring that each step meets our quality standards before progressing.

Weekly Client Updates

We hold weekly calls with our clients to provide updates on project quality and progress. These meetings ensure open communication, allowing clients to review our quality management practices in real-time and ask questions.

Client Access to Procore for Transparency

Through Procore, our clients have access to ongoing quality control reports, documentation, and project updates. This transparency fosters trust and enables clients to monitor quality throughout the project lifecycle.
