Construction quality involves translating design and customer requirements into work that can be checked. An audit can follow how changes, inspections and nonconforming work are managed on a real project.
Questions to follow in an audit
- How are current drawings and specifications communicated?
- Who accepts a change to the agreed work?
- What happens when an inspection identifies a defect?
Connect the records with practice
Trace one inspected activity through the applicable specification, inspection result, remedial work and confirmation that the issue was resolved.
These are illustrative audit trails, not findings about a named organisation, technical instructions or a guarantee of a particular result. The appropriate evidence depends on the activities, risks and agreed scope. The organisation remains responsible for its operations and legal obligations.
