OBSERVATIONS
As I visited site which are following old conventional manual method of quality
control and quality tests instead of any technical application. Some of the points
are listed down mentioned specifically by on-site in charge.
1. There has to be more technical aspects in provided checklists provided by
application.

2. As application is in beginning phase so it consumes more battery, also

network issues which can be generally noticed on site because in India most
of the construction works are done in remote or out station location.

3. During construction phase many structural/specification changes occur due

to client requirement that could simply affect the checklists provided by
DIGIQC.

4. Apart from this, in government projects like bridges, railway work:

 80% (reinforcement test, soil test and other construction material

tests) of quality tests are done by recent NABL guidelines.

 Rest 20% of tests like compaction and density tests are done either by
government recommended laboratory or third party.
