Construction projects are always expected to create a balance between cost, time, and quality. Quality assurance (QA) is needed because of the involvement of negligence and lack of knowledge, especially in smaller projects, which deduces the construction's quality. Establishing a quality assurance system and implementing the quality assurance system for the overall upgrading of construction quality has become an essential topic. The quality of its work should be done according to the developed quality assurance program to build customer confidence. It can improve the probability of successful project delivery and minimize the risk of cost and time blowouts. A QA often provides substantial returns by preventing costly project mistakes and delivering benefits earlier.

Quality Built is the nationwide leader in third-party quality assurance and insights. The firm works with some of the most respected names in construction, insurance, and litigation.

Find solutions that provide greater comfort, value, and safety to homeowners and end-users in the most efficient way possible.

Technical Plan Review™: Every construction project is complex, with hundreds, if not thousands, of variables and dependencies.
