We are an organization in the field of civil construction for carrying out all types of civil jobs, started by the
Chairman Mr. B.K Saxena in the year 2003 We are a group of professionally managed team of qualified engineers,
supervisors, foremen and skilled manpower backed up by proper infrastructure and machineries.

We wish to introduce ourselves as leam of civil Engineers and Contractors, doing quality jobs and attaining the
highest of specification, meeting the utmost stringent time schedule, absolutely steering clear of any claims
litigations and enjoying the best of reputation with our clients, consultants and departments.

Company has the privilege to work with the renowned consultants of the country to their entire satisfaction in
terms of the quality & time schedule. We have the complete expertise to Co-ordinate with allied agencies like
Electrical, Air Conditioning, fire-fighting, Plumbing & Gas pipe lines etc., which are always the part of our all the
projects.

(2)Quality Policy:-
Quality is a key driver for us and at the heart of our working. A system approach to construction management
perfected over 16 years, the use of modern equipment, teams of highly skilled and experienced workmen, superior
materials, quality tools and constant supervision throughout ensures superior and consistent quality in all of our
projects.
Senior site supervisors for all processes elaborate documentation and reporting, scheduled management visits and
periodic reviews ensure quality workmanship, finishing, detailing and on-time completion of projects.
The glowing tributes of our clients, their repeat business and the expanding reach of our operations are a

Quality assurance plan consists of all the planned and systematic actions to be undertaken by
theorganization involvedin execution and acceptance of the works involved in the contract. The plan consists all
the operations, which are to be performed, the systematic and sequential progression of operations, thepersons
responsible for each activity and the measure employed to assure the specific quality. This it is imperative to
ensure that product and service are inspected, checked and approved at all states from commencement of work
including receipt of materialto its completion in so far as utilization.

The document describes the quality assurance and quality control activities which include a description of
implementation, procedure of quality assurance and qualitycontrol through the project and its roles &
responsibleof the management. It is the commitment of the management to arrange QA/QC functions during all
phase of the contract and also to ensure that the work to be executed is in compliance with the contractual terms,
specifications, statutory and regulatory requirements and all relevant applicable codes and standards with the
client’s requirement.

The purpose of this plan is to ensure quality assurance and quality control program which shall be
implemented by contractor company .The work will be constructed and main tended as per relevant codes, CPWD
specification, Drawing and or as directed by the engineer. Every month quality progress report is submitted by the
contractor company.
This is a user’s manual for material testing and sampling at site. The scope of this manual is pertaining to Apex
Projects procedure and which includes data, procedures, formats as following:

1. Setting up of infra-structure required for testing various material as per the list given. Infra will comprise
of:
i) Enclosed area for conducting the tests at desired conditions.
ii) Equipment’s for the various tests as listed.
iii) Filing rack / cabinet for keeping the records and table / chair.
iv) Curing tank for concrete cubes.
v) Trained QC engineer & Trained Lab technician shall be deputed for the site.

2. Any other tests on same material or the material other than listed will have to be done in external
laboratory. The records of such tests will be maintained at the laboratory (List of test as per table –2)
3. Any approved samples, test pieces will be maintained at the laboratory.
4. Procedure for calibration of test equipment’s and validation of measuring aid (separate chapter)

(3.1) QUALITY MANUAL FOR PROJECTS:-

To achieve excellence in quality as per agreed specifications uniformly in construction of all it is necessary
to design strong system for quality checks at all stages of construction. This should form integral part of project
schedule, monitoring for time, cost and statuary approvals at different stages of construction from Govt.
authorities. Keeping this in mind we have planned organization along with methodology and specific
responsibilities for each member of the team.

(6) Check list for Concreting & Pour Card.

(3.2) QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURE:-

Quality Assurance Procedure consists the following phases:
1) Pre-construction Phase
2) During construction phase
3) Post construction phase.

During this phase various activities are undertaken and a system is put in place and activated in order to
ensure that
a) Source of all building materials are approved in advance.
b) Execution procedure of each activity is understood properly by execution department.
c) All activities, at all location begin as planned in time.
d) The support system is efficient enough to sustain the quality and progress of work as planned.
e) Quality and progress at all times during construction phase remain unaffected and unhindered.

(3.3) MATERIAL:-
It is ensured that all material received at site are tested /inspected as per criteria for each material at
external / internal laboratory at site by QC engineer. Untested materials are properly identified and rejected
materials are disposed off.

(3.4) FIELD LABORATORY SET UP:-

In order to carry out day to day testing of incoming material, field laboratory is set up with calibrated
instruments.

(3.5) QUALITY CONTROL DURING CONSTRUCTION:-

This is the most important phase of quality control. This is ensured by allotting responsibilities to
concerned engineer with commensurate authority and supervisors with commensurate authority at execution
and closing monitored by execution in-charge and QA/QC Engineer to ensure a total quality product at all
times .To achieve this, scheme has been devised and enclosed with this document.

 Remove bottom plate if attached and check diagonals between top and bottom.
 Put cube assembly on base plate and check level of adjacent plates.
 Tolerances (IS: 516)
 Dimensional tolerances shall not be more than 150 ± 0.2 mm.
 Angular Tolerances shall be 90± 0.5

Reports:- Keep recodes of verification of dimensions Date and serial wise.

(ii) VERIFICATION OF SIEVES:-

Aim:- To visually inspected the sieves for condition.

Procedure:-
