Quality Assurance
Key:
1. There will be one checklist per plot.
2. The BQC will be filled out as appropriate. Items are to be logged as pass, fail or N/A, all inspections need to be physically inspected by the Site Management team.
3. Items must be checked on each plot. These items are integral to the quality and final cost of the plot.
4. When a stage is complete it must be left clean, free from defects and protected before the next build stage can commence.
5. Any other quality assurance documents should be retained by the relevant party and handed into the site management team with their final sign off documents.
6. The checklist needs to be fully completed as part of the handover process.
