The effect of quality control on efficiency in construction projects

Abstract

The development sector has struggled with quality concerns for a number of years, which has had a profound impact on our economy. If the industry adopted the idea of quality assurance, which has been employed with great success by many other areas of the economy, the price might possibly be cut by a large amount. In order for building owners to effectively advocate for the adoption of this strategy to protect their assets and lower construction costs, they must be forced to learn about quality assurance. Internal control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) are becoming more and more significant project management concerns. Costly repairs might be needed if built-in facilities have flaws or malfunctions. Reconstruction is needed and facility operations are hampered even with minor flaws. The effect is higher expenses and delays. Any building process should include quality assurance and internal control to raise the project's standard and consistency. Due to substantial developments, technological improvements, and high customer expectations, the need for QA and QC in building projects has significantly expanded in recent years. The QA and QC keep the building process constant and assure more cost-effective material use, which significantly lowers the cost to the consumers. The additional expense associated with QA and QC is closely correlated with the benefits. In the housing business, a method has been established for QA and QC. The building procedure achieves the necessary quality thanks to the technique. In the end, having quality is essential. In general, we may define the standard in a number of ways, including the following: Conformity to requirements or specifications defines quality. Fitness for usage equates to quality. The degree to which a group of innate qualities meets standards is the definition of quality. İn the opinion of the author, during the application of the quality assurance and quality control system, it is necessary to take into account that the quality cannot be left to chance; rather, the production process must be managed at a comprehensive level. Quality control includes such activities as testing of materials to be used, field and laboratory testing of component mixtures, and adequate understanding of the contractor's methods and techniques by executive staff.
