SYSTEM FOR CONTROL OF CONSTRUCTION QUALITY

A METHODOLOGY IS PROPOSED FOR DEFINING AND OPTIMIZING THE QUALITY CONTROL TASKS REQUIRED ON REGULATED HEAVY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. THE SYSTEM RECEIVES INPUT IN THE FORM OF OBJECTIVES OF THE OWNER, DESIGNER AND CONSTRUCTOR, TOGETHER WITH SOCIAL PRESSURES IN THE FORM OF BUILDING CODES AND CONSTRUCTION PERMIT STIPULATIONS. A QUALITY CONTROL MATRIX IS PRESENTED AS A DEVICE FOR DIGESTING AND PRESENTING THESE REQUIREMENTS. A LINEAR RESPONSIBILITY CHART IS OFFERED AS A CONVENIENT TECHNIQUE FOR DESCRIBING THE DELEGATION OF RESPONSIBILITY AND AUTHORITY. MANAGEMENT TOOLS IN THE FORM OF A QUALITY CONTROL MANUAL, PROCEDURES, INSPECTION MANUALS, AND SUBSYSTEM FLOW DIAGRAMS ARE SUGGESTED FOR USE IN CARRYING OUT THE DAY-TO-DAY BUSINESS OF ADMINISTERING THE QUALITY CONTROL EFFORT. /AUTHOR/
