A meaningful quality assurance program begins as your project is being designed and budgeted, and includes a clear definition of your objectives. Once those objectives are agreed upon, our project team develops a concise approach for achieving the targeted results and our commitments to the process.
The selection of proper materials and systems is essential to the long-term quality and maintainability of your project. As the design phase progresses, we work with the architect to provide you with various design alternatives and a cost/benefit analysis so that you can weigh the effects specific materials have on your budget and the quality and durability of your building.
During construction, Douglas Company project managers provide a quality control review of each subcontractor's proposed products for conformance with contract documents. In addition, the project manager and our on-site supervisory staff hold pre-construction meetings with all significant contractors to establish the standards for performance, and provide continuing review and inspection of installed work to ensure its proper completion. Detailed checklists are used to monitor the quality on important segments of the work.
We often recommend the use of independent testing agencies to perform materials testing of our work, including excavation, concrete, steel, paving, masonry, etc. to assure its conformance to accepted design and engineering standards.
