Improved Quality Through Construction Management

Construction Management (CM) offers several benefits to Customers, particularly on quality.

Quality is a primary concern for any Customer, Stakeholder and End User. Quality Assurance (QA) is crucial for meeting and, where possible, exceeding requirements.

Construction quality is about compliance, minimising defects and the need for rework. It enhances Customer satisfaction, reduces all party’s costs and contributes to timely completion.

Designers and Contractors must show their competence and compliance with Building Regulations. The Building Safety Act imposes requirements on those involved in the design and construction process. The level of these requirements depend upon the nature of the building(s) planned.

So, ensuring quality is as much about culture and organisational values, as it is systems and processes.

Under CM a Construction Manager works direct for the Customer. This provides a team of dedicated professionals focused on overseeing work quality. There is no Main Contractor with alternative motives impacting or diluting QA.

CM ensures Customer transparency and access to project QA procedures, inspections, and audits. Quality issues are identified and addressed early, in full collaboration with the Customer. This open proactive approach significantly reduces the chances of reworks or costly defects. Quality management via CM can result in a better end product, delivered on time and within budget.

Another benefit of CM is continuity of quality control throughout the project. Early engagement of the Construction Manager ensures continuity throughout the project’s development. The Customer can rely on the their expertise to maintain high standards at every stage.

CM provides Customers with greater control over the quality of materials and workmanship.  They can make informed decisions based on the Construction Manager’s reports and recommendations. This in turn can result in a higher-quality final product.

Additionally, CM allows for greater flexibility and adaptability during the construction process. The Customer can make changes and adjustments as needed without causing significant delay or cost overruns.  This flexibility improves quality as the project evolves to meet the Customer’s changing requirements.

Customers have direct control over the quality of their projects under CM.  It ensures that quality control is a continuous, integral process aligned with the Customer’s vision and expectations.

• Construction Manager providing quality control expertise, with no alternative motive
