Quality Assurance

In Plain English

The proactive process of setting up systems to prevent quality problems before work is done wrong.

Definition

Quality assurance (QA) is the system of planned and systematic activities implemented to ensure that quality requirements are fulfilled throughout the construction process. QA focuses on processes, documentation, and system audits that prevent defects from occurring rather than detecting them after the fact. QA includes reviewing submittals, verifying material conformance, and auditing construction procedures.
