We undertake systematic and vigilant inspection of construction works in progress, with particular regard to the elements of workmanship, materials and compliance to standards.
Clerks of Works Site Quality Inspection Services
The construction process is becoming increasingly complex. Design modification, reworks, delays, claims, defects etc. are compromising time, cost and quality deliverables. Our aim is to proactively assist the Client, Contractor, and Project Team to realise a ‘Zero Defects’ project. Some of the key benefits of adopting our services include the following:
- The highest possible standard of quality is achieved;
- Enhances ‘Right First Time’ initiatives;
- Reduces operational risks (compliance, delays, quality);
- Reduces costs (reworks, delays, litigation, insurance, etc);
- Prolongs the lifecycle and durability of the building; and
- Improves the marketability of the building by demonstrating that independent third-party site quality control inspection has been adopted.
