Quality control software

Construction quality control software with an audit trail that holds up

Run your quality plan as checklists bound to real inspection points, with hold points that cannot be passed without evidence and a record that shows if anything was altered after sign-off.

What gets in the way, and what RTI does about it

A quality control programme is only as good as the record it produces. Most teams have the process — preparatory meetings, initial inspections, follow-up — and no artefact at the end that anyone outside the team would accept as proof.

Today

Inspection records are signed PDFs in a folder, with no way to tell whether one was replaced.

With RTI

Each record links to the previous one by hash. A changed record breaks the chain, and the break is visible.

Today

Hold points get passed because the notice never reached the person who had to witness them.

With RTI

Work sits in a review state until a QA/QC manager approves or rejects it, with the queue visible to everyone who needs it.

Today

Nonconformances live in a spreadsheet that stops being updated in month two.

With RTI

Rejections carry a reason and re-enter the field queue, so the correction is tracked in the same place as the original inspection.

Today

Nobody can see whether the same defect keeps recurring across the job.

With RTI

Structured locations and checklist items make recurrence visible instead of anecdotal.

Before you buy anything

Questions worth asking any vendor, including us

Can you prove a record was not altered?

Version history inside a database an administrator controls is not the same as a tamper-evident chain. Ask what specifically would detect an edit.

Are inspections tied to a physical location?

A QR tag on the inspection point removes the most common data-quality problem in QA/QC: records attached to the wrong place.

Does the tool separate submission from approval?

The person doing the work should not be the person accepting it. The tool should make that separation structural, not procedural.

What does an auditor receive?

Ask for a sample export. If it does not include photos, timestamps, signatures and the chain state, it is a report rather than evidence.

Put it on a real job.

RTI covers the whole loop: checklists and hold points, field capture with a photo gate, a review board for approvals, and a turnover package that carries the proof.
