Quality Control

Mashburn Construction’s project-specific Quality Assurance and Control (QA/C) plan spans the entire construction process and consist of four stages:

1. Define work properly. Stage 1 of the QA/C program focuses on analyzing the contract documents to understand the Owner’s expectations, anticipate potential quality issues, and plan the work accordingly. This stage ensures that we are building a quality project from the beginning.
2. Select capable trade contractors. In Stage 2, we will carefully select through by means of a competitive process, trade contractors capable of meeting the demands of the project to fine-tune our approach to quality challenges.
3. Communicate quality standards and expectations. During Stage 3, we will finalize a project-specific QA/C plan that guides our team’s quality leadership efforts. We make sure that the quality standards are clear to each trade contractor, taking care to thoroughly answer all of their questions. By effectively preparing each trade contractor, we reduce the risk of costly interruptions and rework during construction, and pave the way for on-time delivery of a facility that meets the established quality standards.
4. Manage quality continuously. During Stage 4, which covers the construction phase, we will monitor installation activities daily to ensure high standards of quality are met in both the construction process and the finished product. We will also perform or oversee specified inspections and tests to provide assurance that the building’s structure and systems are sound, durable and perform to the owner’s expectations. 

This four-stage approach to assuring quality will provide multiple opportunities to identify and correct potential quality problems before any work has been put in place. Through our commitment to thoroughly understanding the project, proactively communicating quality standards to the trade contractors, and following through to ensure those standards are being met, Mashburn Construction provides dependable and proven leadership in quality assurance.
