Construction Inspection Handbook: Quality Assurance/Quality Control

This edition helps ensure that construction projects meet contract specifications, comply with Construction Specification Institute standards, and conform with safety requirements and legal codes. The handbook first provides the quality assurance plan - a systematic outline of all the procedures you must perform to evaluate project quality. The book's explanations of each procedure enable you to conduct thorough inspections in the shortest possible time. The book also shows how that QA plan is correlated with codes and standards, contract documents, and various legal aspects. The second portion of the book then describes the concept of quality control through which the plan is practically applied. Special aspects of quality control include field test, temporary construction, field administration, and safety considerations.
