INTRODUCTION

1.0 GENERAL

Quality Management systems have been developed and used by many in the
construction industry to ensure right things are done and things are done right the
first time. Quality Control is the operational techniques and the activities used to
keep the quality of inputs or outputs to specifications; to fulfill and verify
requirements of quality.

Quality control in the construction industry can be looked at as having three

elements:

 To produce a building which satisfies the client

 To produce a building where quality is related to the price.
 To produce a building in which sufficient time is allowed to obtain the desired
quality.

The Construction company understands that like most other aspects of construction
management quality control has to be planned. Planning seeks 'order' and a quality
control system for a construction project reflects this sense of order. It may be seen
to be in five basic stages:

 Setting the quality standard or quality of design required by client.

 Planning how to achieve the required quality, construction methods,
equipment, materials and personnel to be employed.
 Construct the building in right time.
 Correct any quality deficiencies.

Provide for long term quality control through establishing systems and developing a
quality culture

The Construction company have prepared our QCP considering all the elements of
quality control in building construction as well as the basic stages. We have deployed
an appropriate project team to ensure quality control in all aspects. Realistic work
program (Gantt chart) will be followed in implementing the project on time.
Qualification tests of materials and works will be carried out from time to time and
on continued basis ensuring quality. Inspections schedule at various stages have been
identified and documented and will be implemented at field as when required.
Various field inspection checklists will be followed at all stages of the work with a
view to completing the project on schedule and of course with quality. So the QCP
will be our guidelines for achieving the utmost quality in the building construction.

1.1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION OF THE PROJECT

The objective of the project is to site-adapt design and construct the new academic
block.
This project has been taken by the coromandel engineering company pvt.ltd,
Chennai.The project is having G +8 Storeyes. And the quality engineer shall be
required to provide site-adapt the design engineering expertise and construction
services needed to build complete facilities.
The quality engineer will coordinate with all members of the Team, to ensure
projects are executed to a manner that promotes safe project implementation and a
quality product, in a timely manner, within scope and budget. The QA support
personnel will attend site visits, provide technical review of design documents,
plans, shop drawings etc. QA personnel will conduct frequent QA inspections and
monitor design and construction progress.
 CHAPTEER 2.0
QUALITY CONTROL PLAN (QCP)

Quality Control is defined as the operational techniques and the activities used to
keep the quality of inputs or outputs to specifications; to fulfill and verify
requirements of quality. The quality of construction is of paramount importance for
the safety of the public and for the proper stewardship of the revenues expended
for infrastructure construction and maintenance. However, from a project
management perspective, quality relates to performance against the pre-determined
standards. Like most other aspects of construction management quality control has
to be planned. Planning seeks 'order' and a quality control system for a construction
project reflects this sense of order. It may be seen to be in five basic stages:
 Setting the quality standard or quality of design required by client.
 Planning how to achieve the required quality, construction methods,
equipment, materials and personnel to be employed.
 Construct the building right first time.
 Correct any quality deficiencies.
 Provide for long term quality control through establishing systems and
developing a quality culture.
2.1 Introduction
Quality Management (QM) systems have been developed and used by many in the
construction industry to ensure right things are done and things are done right the
first time. The Quality engineer is responsible for the quality control of their
constructed work product as well as the necessary inspections and tests required to
ensure that their work complies with the contract documents. They exercise
authority over their workforce including QC personnel.
The Quality engineer shall maintain a QCP (Quality Control Plan) for the project.
Hence they submit a QCP for the project for approval by the Government. The
objectives of this QCP are to
• Describe the quality program and organization to be implemented so that the
project is constructed in accordance with the contract requirements and industry
standards;
• Describe guidelines for inspection and documentation of construction
activities;
• Provide reasonable controls and assurance that the completed work will
meet or exceed the requirements of the construction drawings and specifications;
and
• Describe how any unexpected changes or conditions that could affect the
construction quality will be detected, documented, and addressed during
construction.

2.2 Definable Features of Work

The Quality engineer shall site-adapt the design and construct the building
facilities having civil works, sanitary & plumbing items and electrical works. The
works comprises excavation, foundation works, RCC framing, brickwork,

The PM is the person responsible for the planning, coordination and

controlling of a project from inception to completion, meeting the project's
requirements and ensuring that the project is completed on time, within budget,
within scope and to required quality standards. The project manager insures that all
phase reviews have occurred and have been completed, that all comments have
been satisfactorily addressed and that all forms and checklists have been completed
by the appropriate personnel. The PM is ultimately responsible for the project’s
adherence to the quality control plan.

2.3.3 Site Manager

The Site Manager is responsible for supervising the project site and
construction work in order to ensure that the requirements of the construction
contract are delivered according to the plan specifications. The Site Manager
provides regular updates to the project manager regarding the progress of
construction work, provides direct supervision and scheduling of trades people,
and is involved in arranging site inspections in conjunction with the project
manager.
2.3.4 QC Manager (QCM)

The Quality Control Manager (QCM) is a full-time employee of the

contractor. The QCM will have full authority to institute any and all actions
necessary for the successful implementation of the QC program to ensure
compliance with the contract plans and technical specifications. The QCM shall
report directly to Project Manager responsible officer of the construction
contractor. The QCM is assigned to this project full time.

2.3.5 Site Safety & Health Officer (SSHO)

Site Safety & Health Officer (SSHO) is responsible for making sure that
people working in the construction industry adhere to certain rules and regulations
regarding safety. SSHO is trained in managing skills and safety principles. The
specific duties of a construction safety officer vary depending on the type of job
and the tools or machinery used.

2.3.6 Civil/Electrical Engineer (QC)

• Inspect all materials, construction, plant, and equipment for

conformance with the technical specifications; and

• Perform all QC tests as required by the technical specifications.

 CHAPTER 3.0
QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES

4.1 Surveillance of Subcontractors’ Operations

In order to ensure quality in all aspects of the construction site, close watch of
subcontractors’ operations is no doubt compulsory. The Quality engineer shall
establish and document an appraisal system to verify their sub contractor’s
implementation of and conformance to the QCP and contract technical specification
requirements. The appraisal shall cover all the quality-affecting activities for
construction, as well as laboratories and shall be applicable to the onsite and offsite
locations, including all subcontractors.
The Quality engineer shall deploy apt and capable subcontractors in the
project. Their works shall be inspected by our supervising personnel QC Engineers.
Their activities will be duly inspected per the Field inspection checklists.

4.2 Inspection Acceptance Procedure

Construction acceptance criteria for materials qualifications, inspection, and

testing are established by technical specifications. Criteria for materials and
equipment have been set by Govt/QA Staff in accordance with the applicable codes
and standards, and by manufacturers’ recommendations. Contractor submittals are
to document conformance with acceptance criteria as detailed in their QCP (control,
verification, and acceptance testing plan).

The contractor QC control, verification, and acceptance testing plans set out
the QC inspections and testing for implementation of each technical specification
applicable to the contractor’s scope of work. The plans will cover the type, test
standard, frequency, control requirements, and assigned responsibility for
inspections and tests. The Client will review and approve these plans as part of the
contractor QCP submittals.

General construction Inspection and Verification Requirements

Quality engineer shall perform the inspections and tests as prescribed in the
technical specifications for the Contract. QA inspection and testing will be used to
verify the adequacy and effectiveness of the contractor QC program. The QA
inspection and testing frequency will be at the discretion of the CQAO based on
results of QC tests, evaluation of daily reports, audits of the QC program and
verification testing conducted by Govt and third party testing firm.

Should information become available that indicates a potential problem,

Government/QA Staff will review in detail all pertinent information and order
additional verification testing if necessary. Contractor QC control, verification, and
acceptance testing plans set out the contractor’s specific QC testing and inspection
pursuant to Specification and the relevant design specification.

Inspection and Testing Plan

Materials qualification testing will be done prior to construction to verify that

the materials comply with requirements of the specifications. The Quality engineer
will obtain representative samples of the materials designated as the proposed source
of the materials. Test samples will be sent by the contractor to the Testing
Laboratory. The Testing Laboratory will report all test results for determination of
material meeting the acceptance criteria. We understand that Government/QA Staff
will periodically inspect materials being used.

If determined that the characteristics of the material being used differ from the
material initially tested, Government/QA Staff will direct the contractor to repeat the
qualification testing. If the new material qualification test results meet the criteria of
the technical specification, the new materials may be used for the work; otherwise,
previously approved materials must be used or other acceptable materials must be
sampled and tested as noted above prior to incorporating into the work.

4.3 Inspection Discrepancy Procedure

This section provides procedures for tracking construction deficiencies

(noncompliance) from identification through acceptable corrective action. It defines
the controls and related responsibilities and authorities for dealing with
noncompliant works or services.

When material, performed work, or installation is found deficient, Government/QA

Staff shall ensure that the non-conforming material, work, or installation is identified
and controlled to prevent unintended use or delivery. Govt will notify the contractor
of any noncompliance with any of the foregoing requirements. The contractor shall,
after receipt of such notice, immediately take corrective action.
Minor deficiencies

Minor deficiencies noted during test or inspection are verbally reported to the
contractor’s representative and noted on the daily construction report. Ideally, such
minor deficiencies can be corrected on the spot by agreement with the contractor’s
supervisor.

Non-conformances

Non-conformances are major deviations from the contract requirement and/or

accepted standard of quality, which is formally documented for corrective action by
Government/QA. QA Staff shall follow up on the Non-conformances as required to
verify that corrective action has been completed by the Contractor.

4.4 Implementation

The Quality engineer shall establish and document an appraisal system to verify their
or their sub contractor’s implementation of and conformance to the QCP and
contract technical specification requirements. The assessment system shall be used
to make a determination regarding the effectiveness of the QC system.

The Quality engineer’s auditing shall be planned, performed and documented in

accordance with written instructions, procedures or checks to be included in the
QCP. The audit scope, frequency and methods shall be defined in the QCP. All non-
conformance conditions identified during the audit shall be re-audited to verify the
corrective actions taken by the appropriate organization were effective.

4.5 Inspections

The Quality engineer shall establish a program for inspection of activities affecting
quality and shall cover all construction site and laboratory operations, including both
onsite and offsite operations. Inspections shall be performed to verify compliance
with documented instructions, drawings, procedures, and specifications as required
by the contract. All inspections shall be documented by the contractor.
A four-phase inspection program shall be followed for each definable feature of the
work. The four phases of inspection shall be carried out following the Quality
Inspection Report (vide Table 4.5 above) are:

4.5.1 Stage 1: Preparatory Inspection

The contractor’s QC Manager and the QA Staff/Government perform preparatory

inspections prior to beginning any work on any definable feature of the work.

• Ensure that preparatory inspections include a review of contract requirements.

• Ensure that all materials and /or equipment have been tested, submitted, and
approved.

• Ensure that provisions have been made to provide required testing.

• Examine work area to ascertain that all preliminary work has been completed.

• Examine materials, equipment, and samples to ensure that they conform to

approved shop drawings or submittal data, that all materials and/or equipment are
on hand, and that all monitoring and measuring equipment is properly calibrated and
in proper working condition.

• Record preparatory inspections in the contractor’s QC documentation

4.5.2 Stage 2: Initial Inspection

The contractor and Government/QA Staff perform an initial inspection as soon as a

representative portion of the particular feature of work has been accomplished.

• Examine the quality of workmanship.

• Review control testing for compliance with contract requirements.

• Review dimensional aspects of the work.

• Record initial inspections in the contractor’s QC documentation

4.5.3. Stage 3: Follow-Up Inspection

The contractor and Government/QA Staff perform follow-up inspections daily.

• Ensure continuing compliance with Contract requirements.

• Ensure continuing compliance with control testing until completion of

particular feature of work.

• DB Contractor CQM records follow-up inspection in daily QC reports.

• Conduct final follow-up inspections and correct test deficiencies prior to the
addition of new features of work.

4.5.4 Stage 1: Completion Inspection

The contractor and Government/QA Staff perform a completion inspection of the

work.

• Develop a “punch list” of items that do not conform to the approved plans and
specifications.

• Include the punch list in the construction QC documentation that includes the
estimated date by which the deficiencies will be corrected.

• Perform a second completion inspection after punch list items have been
completed and USACE. has been notified by the DB contractor.

The daily inspection reports shall identify inspections conducted, results of

inspections, location and nature of defects found, causes for rejection, and remedial
or corrective action taken or proposed.

Additional QA inspections may include inspection of third-party lab testing

facilities, fabrication facilities, and suppliers. Other inspections outside of the four-
phase program described above will be ordered or performed by Government to
verify compliance with building code and standards.These inspections shall be
performed and conducted at various points of construction that would typically
require code compliance inspections.
When deficiencies are discovered during the four-phase or other inspection
processes, focused inspection shall be considered by Government/QA. When
material, performed work, or installation is found on the basis of focused inspections
to be deficient and/or does not meet the project specifications, the Contractor will
assure deficiency correction is implemented.

4.6 Testing Procedures

i. QC Testing

As required by the contract specifications, the Quality engineer shall establish a test
program to ensure that all required testing is properly identified, planned,
documented and performed under controlled and suitable environmental conditions,
including cleanliness. Such test procedures shall incorporate or reference the
requirements as contained in the contract technical specifications, codes, and
industry standards. Per the QCP, the contractor shall submit the test procedures to
Government/QA Staff for review and acceptance prior to their implementation.

The contractor shall be responsible for establishing a system of daily test reports that
will record all QC test results. Test results from each day’s work period shall be
submitted to Government/QA Staff prior to the start of the next day’s work period.
When required by the technical specifications, the contractor shall maintain
statistical QC charts. The contractor’s responsible technician and the QCM shall sign
the daily test reports. Government/QA Staff will review test results on a daily basis
and identify any non-conforming test results for discussion with the contractor
regarding potential corrective action.

ii. Field Testing Procedures

The will conduct field-testing to verify that control measures are adequate to provide
a product that conforms to contract requirements. Field testing will be conducted
under the auspices of the QCM and he or his designee shall:

• Arrange for, or conduct, field testing in accordance with applicable test

parameters
• Verify that facilities and testing equipment are available and comply with
testing standards
• Check test equipment calibration data against certified standards.

Government/QA staff and is independent of and in addition to QC testing performed
by DB contractors.

QA testing may be performed on a pre-established schedule or as directed by

Government/QA. QA testing will be performed by or under supervision of the QA
staff to validate the contractor’s QC sampling and testing.

When QA and QC test results do not compare or have wide variances, additional
testing may be needed to validate the results. The need for QA testing shall be based
on the following considerations:

• Importance of the item as to its reliability, etc;

• Need to perform quality checks for fabrication sequences not available for
inspection at completion; and
• Deficiencies are discovered.

red-line record drawings will be used to update the design drawings to as-built status
at the completion of the work. The contractor will be responsible for red-lining
construction drawings in the field as preparation for as-built drawings.

The as-built drawings will record approved actual field conditions upon completion
of the work. The original design drawings will be marked up by the contractor as the
project progresses to indicate as-built conditions.

Where there was a change to a specified material, dimension, location, or other

feature, the as-built drawing will indicate the work performed. Upon the completion
of the as-built red-line drawings, the contractor will submit the red-line mark-up
drawings to Government/QA staff for review. Government/QA will incorporate the
mark-ups and issue the final as-built drawings.
4.7.5 Control of Quality Records

Government/QA verifies QA record accuracy and maintains copies of all quality-

related documentation. This includes, but may not be limited to:

• Daily construction QA logs and records;

• Inspection checklists and reports;

inspection and audit, at any time, by Government/QA Staff.

5.0 SUBMITTALS AND MATERIALS

5.1 Submittals

The contractor shall submit RFI and other submittals to Client/QA Consultants. The
Client will administer and control the processing of contractor submittals. After
being reviewed for completeness, submittal documents will be transmitted to the
relevant project staff for review and verification for compliance with contract
requirements. The submittal’s disposition will be noted on the submittal, which will
be signed, dated and returned to the contractor. If required, the contractor will revise
the submittal, incorporating the comments and will resubmit it for review and
verification for compliance. Submittals will be logged and copies will be retained in
the project files.
5.2 Submittal Schedule

The contractor will submit and maintain a submittal schedule. The Government will
review and after consulting the QA support personnel will approve the submittal
schedule. The schedule will be initially submitted within two weeks or as specified
in the Contract Document after the award of the contract and then monthly with the
monthly baseline schedule updates. The Government shall work with the contractor
to prioritize and sequence submittals so that the most critical submittals are received
and processed first. The submittal schedule will become the baseline against which
receipt of all required submittals will be compared. The approved submittal schedule
will be forwarded to the Government for resource availability planning.

ii. Process, Review and Acceptance of Submittal

Submittals will be managed as follows:

a) Contractor will number and certify the completeness of all submittals before
submitting to the Client;

b) Contractor must also complete submittal transmittal forms and submit in required
number copies and one electronic copy of all required submittals to the
Government’s document manager

c) Upon receiving the submittal the Government will log the submittal and provide
a review to ascertain whether the package is complete. If the submittal is
incomplete the submittal will be returned to the contractor.

iii. Storage of Submittal

The Contractor will maintain all submittal files via a combination of a secure
document filing and storage system, and a computerized document tracking system.

6. REVISIONS TO WORK

Changes to construction processes or design plans and specifications are governed

by the design change order procedures. Any revision or modification of design and
all other non-tendered items shall be undertaken only after prior written approval of
the Government. The Contractor shall submit rate analysis for the variation order
(VO), on checking and correcting the same, the QA staff will submit to the
Government for approval prior to execution.
Field changes for QC/QA will be limited to CQAP and CQCP changes. The DB
contractor’s QCP required by Technical Specification may require revisions as
necessary to correct unsatisfactory performance. At any time after approval by the
Government, the Government may require the DB contractor to make changes to the
QCP, including personnel changes, as necessary to obtain the quality specified.

Moreover, the contractor may initiate QCP changes to correct QC process problems,
and is required to notify the Client in writing of any desired changes; all changes are
subject to Government/QA acceptance.

CONCLUSION

Through the internship, We learnt the function and importance of quality control.
Quality management in construction is a road map to business success through
quality.
Among the many topics it covers are:

 a step-by-step approach to creating a quality management system that

is right for your company

 how to include all your stakeholders in the quality process; how to

identify and map your key processes

 how to use your system to help market your business and stay
competitive how to monitor and improve ongoing business
performance and much, much more(Construction skills)

The aim of the doing internship on the quality control is to find out the
shortcoming of quality management of enterprise, then to make progress through
theinernship, so as to improve the quality of product, work, and service, while
strengthen the quality management system, and raise the overall level of quality
management. For a construction organization, the quality of construction project is
the protection of all the work. In order to establish the corporate image and
strengthen competitiveness, the quality of construction is required constant
improvement.

There are still some suggestions for the quality management and control of
construction project.

(1) The mathematical methods can be used for quantitative control and
management of project quality. It can make quality management more quantitative,
objective and scientific, which is advantageous to constantly improving the
construction quality and raise the level of construction quality management.

(2) The review of the construction organization and workers should be

strengthened, and the qualification management should be strict. The quality and
technical operation of workforce should be improved through training, and the
continuing education of technical staff should be encouraged.

(3) The systematic quality management system should be applied. The

quality of each process and project can be ensured through systematic planning,
control and inspection. The waste of workforce, machinery, materials and other costs
can be avoided, as well as the schedule delays. It has been found out that the
scientific quality management system can ensure the rational allocation of project
resources, and make the project run on the preconcert quality objectives, so as to
achieve the effect of project quality control.

(4) The quality management of the whole process of project construction

should be paid more attention, including the phase of pre-construction, construction
and completion. The consciousness of quality control in the phase of project quality
plan should be strengthened, and the focus on the inspection after completion should
be transferred to the planning and process control of pre-construction
