1. Implement Total Quality
Management: Contractors should
employ the concept of Total Quality
Management (TQM) from pre-
contracts through project completion.
TQM is a process-oriented method

used to cultivate effective NEWSLETTER
collaboration, improve the quality of
work, and reduce cost. The term First & Last Na
“total” refers to the entire contracting
organization, meaning all teams,
departments, and functions are Company
involved in quality management. TQM
is a managerial and technological
method to achieve quality Email
requirements and business objectives
throughout the entire organization. 

SUBMIT
The key principles of TQM include customer
focus, employee involvement, process
centering, integrated system, strategic and
systematic approach, decision-making
based on facts, communication, and
continuous improvement. TQM should also
include an inspection and test plan that will
dictate the frequency of inspections for
each discipline throughout the construction
process.

2. Avoid scope growth: Scope growth

can often be avoided through proper
work processes such as project
controls, a well-defined scope, and a
solid project execution plan developed
in the early stages of the project.

3. Apply quality assurance processes:

Contractors should engage in specific
 procedures to ensure the specified
project quality is accomplished. Such
processes should detail inspection
requirements, the frequency of
inspections, and documentation.

4. Enact quality control programs:

Contractors define the project quality
that will be managed during the
construction stage of the project.
Quality control documentation should
include who is responsible for meeting
quality standards and how such
standards will be achieved, creating
the framework for procedures and
practices which ensure the completed
project is on par with established
quality standards.

5. Ensure communication and

cohesion: Work with a contractor
whose teams work collaboratively as
a single cohesive unit to maintain
quality standards across all teams and
disciplines.

6. Include quality planning in kickoff

meetings: Contractors should include
quality planning in their kickoff
meetings. This will allow for
communication and alignment of the
scope, inspection and test plan
requirements, and execution
methodology for the quality execution
across the entire project team.

7. Analyze individual work processes:

Contractors should analyze individual
work processes that are feeding
specific activities of the job. When
thoughtfully created and diligently
followed, these roadmaps help drive
consistent quality and ensure no steps
or components are missed.

8. Utilize full in-house capabilities:

Contractors who have full in-house
capabilities from detail engineering
and design to construction can help
ensure consistent quality across all
project phases. Designing with a focus
 on constructability can provide design
feasibility within the specified quality
standards, schedule, and budget. This
can also eliminate issues with
miscommunication that is often seen
when multiple contractors or
subcontractors are involved.

9. Hire multi-disciplinary inspectors:

Quality inspectors should be
multidisciplinary to understand the
full scope of project requirements. In
other words, they should not be
disciplined in a single area such as
piping or concrete but should
understand the full spectrum of
quality requirements.

10. Use trusted vendors and suppliers:

Contractors should only utilize
preferred and trusted vendors and
suppliers.
