Quality Control Department ensures that industry standards, regulations and guidelines are met for every element of a project. All the materials, equipment, components and structures will be subject to inspections that are guided by mandatory regulations, technical specifications from the contracts and quality standards.

Throughout the design and engineering phases, the specifications, drawings and standards will be assessed to make sure they meet regulations.

Sepehr Movaled's Inspectors visit contractors, manufacturers and sub-contractors to undertake audits both before and during manufacturing and construction. These may be factory acceptance tests, materials tests, welding inspections or looking at how documentation is stored.

With the attention to conformance as the measure of quality during the construction process, the specification of quality requirements in the design and contract documentation becomes extremely important. Quality requirements should be clear and verifiable, so that all parties in the project can understand the requirements for conformance. Much of the discussion in this chapter relates to the development and the implications of different quality requirements for construction as well as the issues associated with insuring conformance.
