A practical framework for QA/QC managers and project leaders to cut rework, improve subcontractor performance, and standardize quality across projects.

If your QA/QC program relies on spreadsheets, PDFs, and inconsistent field habits, quality becomes luck.
That luck shows up later as rework, closeout chaos, and warranty exposure, usually traced back to subcontractor scope that wasn’t verified consistently.

This guide breaks QA/QC down into five core functions that high-performing teams use to keep defects from escaping.

Why this matters

Most construction quality failures are not “random defects.” They’re predictable outcomes of a system that’s missing core functions:

  • Issues are found, but accountability and follow-through are inconsistent
  • Subcontractors do the work, but expectations and verification vary by inspector
  • Inspections happen, but missed checks can’t be fixed later
  • Data exists, but it’s not used to prevent repeat failures

If you want to reduce rework and raise subcontractor quality, the fastest path isn’t “more inspections.”

It’s consistent inspections + controlled deficiency workflows + prevention.

What’s inside the guide

This eBook takes an in-depth look at the five QA/QC functions that matter most when digitizing construction QA/QC. 

Core Function #1: Work-to-complete lists + daily progress reporting

How to capture issues fast, assign responsibility, track corrections automatically, and quantify cost/schedule impact. 

Core Function #2: Checklist inspections

How to standardize inspections so subcontractor quality isn’t dependent on who’s walking the site and deficiencies get corrected before closeout. 

Core Function #3: Project-specific QA/QC plans (ITP execution)

How to plan required inspections and tests, track completion, and avoid missed inspections that become unmanageable risk later.

Core Function #4: Engineering & commissioning inspections

How to handle technical inspections that require measurements, pass/fail logic, and organized evidence for closeout packages. 

Core Function #5: Proactive QA + risk management

How to use data to identify recurring defects and prevent them, because fixing the same problems repeatedly is what makes projects unprofitable.

Plus: Practical QA/QC platform evaluation criteria

Scale, offline reliability, integrations, and adoption, what matters before you commit. 

What you’ll be able to do after reading

  • Diagnose which QA/QC functions you’re missing (and what that’s costing you)
  • Standardize inspections across projects and teams
  • Create cleaner subcontractor accountability for corrections
  • Reduce late-stage rework by shifting QA/QC earlier and making it repeatable
  • Evaluate QA/QC platforms against real construction requirements before committing
