Quality Assurance
Our extensive experience in this field has led us to develop methodologies that integrate advanced technologies and are designed to help us map risks and predict failures, monitor, supervise, and report to the customer in real time.
Superior quality design and construction are rooted in our DNA; therefore, we established a unit dedicated to quality assurance (QA) management.
This unit specializes in quality assurance management for all types of buildings and infrastructure projects throughout the entire project cycle – from initiation and specification through implementation and delivery.
Our quality assurance experts conduct an extensive set of tests and inspections at various stages of the project to ensure high-quality construction; compliance with standards and regulatory requirements; accurate implementation of construction specifications and planning requirements; adherence to budget; and shortened construction schedules.
