1 Introduction
The policy of XYZ construction company is to ensure that the client is provided with work
that meets their quality in accordance to stipulated job specification. By doing this, it is an
assurance that the client will be satisfied with the output and final work. The main technique
of ensuring that this is attained is by implementing an effective quality control system that
will be applicable to the site during construction work.
This is a quality manual that has been prepared which will be inserted in quality system that
is aimed at specifically controlling the quality of concrete supply, placing of concrete and
finally finishing. In addition to the mentioned importance of the manual, the document will
also include controlling all concrete and other related material that will be used during
construction process. The manual borrows a lot from ISO 9000 Quality Systems Standards.
The document also refers most of the information prescribed herein on methodology and
material handling based on Quality manual in relation to AS 3600 upon the minimum
requirements of AS3092-1987 on Quality System in installation and production.
In order to implement the quality system during production process, there is a need to have a
very supportive team which will be cooperative to ensure that the quality objectives are
attained. Therefore, it is upon the policy of the company and the responsibility of the
management team to make sure that the quality system is well understood by the all
employees on site by offering an effective training to them. In order to do this, a specific
person should be charged with ensuring that the objective is attained. The project therefore,
gives the construction manager the obligation to ensure that the quality systems are attained
and the entire team is committed in ensuring that it is fully implemented.
