Quality Management for Construction and Civil Works Projects

Rework and defects on African construction sites drive up cost, delay handover, and expose contractors to claims. This course applies quality management principles to the specific realities of building and civil works, covering inspection and test plans, materials control, and quality records that survive scrutiny. Participants learn to plan quality into a project rather than inspecting problems out at the end.

What you will be able to do

  • Develop a project quality plan aligned to the works and specifications.
  • Prepare inspection and test plans for key construction activities.
  • Control materials, samples, and supplier quality on site.
  • Manage hold points, witness points, and nonconformances.
  • Compile quality records and handover documentation.
  • Drive a quality culture among site teams and subcontractors.
