Construction Quality Control and Quality Assurance Programs

Terracon’s quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) consulting reduces uncertainty, maximizes quality, and confirms plans and specifications requirements throughout your project. While a small fraction of the construction budget, these services reduce overall project costs by preserving schedule and identifying materials or construction defects early to quickly resolve them. 

Terracon can assume one of two roles on a construction project: 

Quality Assurance (QA): We act as the dedicated owner’s representative to test and observe materials for compliance with the project plans and specifications. 

Quality Control (QC): We represent the contractor to test and observe materials for compliance with the project plans and specifications. 

We partner with you to find and resolve defects early

• QA or QC plans and specifications preparation and/or review
