Over the past six years, we have refined and elevated our quality control processes, creating what we believe is one of the most robust construction QC programs in the region. This dedication to excellence has earned recognition from clients, architects, and OPMs alike. Our Focus Five Quality Program is designed to identify, prevent, and resolve deficiencies before they impact cost, schedule, or project success – ensuring our projects exceed the highest standards of quality and stand the test of time.
1. KICK-OFF MEETINGS: Communicating project requirements and quality standards to each subcontractor so that quality expectations and performance benchmarks are clearly understood from day one.
2. PRE-INSTALLATION MEETINGS: Reviewing specifications, design drawings, approved shop drawings, sequencing, testing requirements and potential challenges individually with each subcontractor prior to them mobilizing on site to ensure all parties have a shared understanding of scope of work, technical details and execution requirements.
3. DELIVERY INSPECTIONS: Ensuring materials are in fact the approved products and meet project specifications to avoid costly rework and schedule delays. W.T. Rich's goal is to inspect 100% of material and equipment deliveries (not just fist deliveries).
4. INITIAL INSPECTIONS: Evaluating installed work within the first 10% of work completion to identify and correct issues or deficiences early.
5. FOLLOW-UP INSPECTIONS: Maintaining quality and high standards by conducting additional inspections throughout the full installation work period.
A TEAM DEDICATED TO QUALITY
Quality is a shared responsibility at W.T. Rich. While Project Engineers lead as the On-site Quality Control Managers, every project team member activelys contribute to QC efforts – ensuring that each phase of construction is meticulously reviewed and refined. For example, the above room-by-room inspections are divided amongst qualified team members so that the inspections are comprehensive and detailed, and our team has a shared understanding of quality standards for the project.
With W.T. Rich, you gain the strength of an entire team committed to protecting your investment and delivering unparalleled quality at every step.
