Quality Control is important for your construction work ,Quality measures the quality

characteristics of a unit,differences between the results obtained and the desired results
in order to make decisions which will correct any differences. One way of
controlling quality is based on the inspection or verification of finished products. The
aim is to filter the products before they reach the Client.

Poor quality results in:-

1. Additional costs and delays when work has to be redone.

2. A poor reputation for contractors.

3. Additional costs to clients when defects have to be repaired later, for increased
maintenance costs or for disruptions to their operations while defects are repaired.

4. Can cause injury and death if the structure fails.

So Quality Control is necessary.

In the construction industry, reputation and trust are the pillars for growth. To
achieve this growth, the industry must stand behind the quality of its work. Quality
assurance (QA) helps prevent problems through planned and systematic
checkpoints. Quality assurance is often forgotten in the rush to complete
construction projects. QA is also often hindered by the amount of paperwork
involved. The risks of not doing QA are extremely high, and can result in:

- Additional costs when work has to be redone or repaired

- Damage to reputation
- Additional costs to client when defects have to be repaired
- Serious injury
- Project delays

What is Quality Assurance?

Quality Assurance is the process of identifying or deciding on all the quality
requirements for a project. It also includes identifying existing quality documents
that are relevant to the quality requirements of the project, and making them
available for use. QA is critical to the overall success of any construction project.
Traditionally, the QA process is manual, involving a lot of paperwork, which
becomes a hindrance to completing QA, resulting in a lot of QA being done
retrospectively.

Why is Quality Assurance so important?

There is always some risk involved in any construction project, and Quality
Assurance is essential in preventing problems with a build and reducing risk. If
quality issues are only identified after an activity has been completed, the result is
re-work and programme delays. When quality issues aren’t identified at all during
the build, it can lead to painful defect-liability periods, or buildings that fail years
after practical completion.

QA focuses on the procedures that the construction company has implemented to

ensure that the design meets quality standards, and ensure the highest industry
standards are applied every step of the way.

How Conqa facilitates the QA process

People want to showcase good work, and implementing software to streamline
and increase efficiency during the QA process will be extremely effective in
saving time and revenue on fixing errors. Quality improvements raise profits, and
making quality an expectation will foster good build processes, and establish a
good reputation.

Conqa lets your team engage and collaborate more easily in the QA process. By
being able to upload photos, annotate them, raise defects, and pass or fail items
on their checklist, Conqa empowers your site team to be efficient. Our Progress
Matrix lets you see a project’s progress in real-time, so you can easily see what’s
happening on site.

For as long as there have been building codes and standards, inspections have
been an important part of the construction process. With Conqa you can generate
detailed reports on specific areas of a project or the entire project. This makes QA
a pain-free, easy process that will result in happy clients, and streamlined
inspections. With an easy way to complete and record QA tasks, it will ensure that
regular inspections can be easily completed, and that you always have
comprehensive site records.
