Did you know only 31% of construction projects meet their original goals for cost, schedule, and quality? (1)

Causes of Quality Control Issues:

  • Worker: Labor shortage, lack of skills/training, unqualified personnel. Lack of motivation and shortcuts.
  • Equipment: Lack of maintenance, improper calibration, outdated technology, wear and tear, and lack of spares contribute to operational challenges.
  • Methods: Failure to follow procedures, conflicting requirements. Lack of clear communication, too relaxed or too rigid requirements.
  • Management: Poor planning, inadequate supervision, lack of fact-based decision-making. Unrealistic work schedules, poor communication, insufficient construction tools.

Importance of Quality Control Inspections:

  1. On-time project completion
  2. Hazard Identification
  3. Improved construction quality
  4. Sustainable construction sites

Don’t fall behind! The construction industry is slow in adopting digital technology, with only 25% of construction companies using digital project management tools. (2)

Benefits of Using Software for Quality Control Inspections:

  1. Efficient Operations: Execute work methodically and centralized data storage for streamlined management, minimizing errors.
  2. Mobile Accessibility: Conduct inspections on smartphones or tablets, storing data in the cloud.
  3. Real-Time Decision-Making: Make swift decisions through instant reporting, enabling efficient issue resolution and streamlined workflows.
  4. Enhanced Communications: Transmit information efficiently to multiple parties for transparency and visibility.

Fast ROI! Organizations that adopt quality management software experience an average reduction of 40% in defects and a 30% decrease in customer complaints. (3)
