Construction quality control plan
A quality control plan is the document that says how quality gets verified on this job, by whom, and what evidence gets kept. Most plans fail on the last part: the process is described but the record is never defined, so nothing is auditable afterwards.
- Items
- 12
- Photos required
- 15
- Built for
- General contractors
Who runs it
QA/QC manager writes it; the project manager owns it; every trade works to it.
When in the schedule
Written before mobilisation, reviewed at each definable feature of work, and updated when scope changes.
The checklist
Every item, and the photo that proves it
The photo count on each row is what RTI would require before the item can be submitted. Copy the list as-is, or load it into RTI and let the gate enforce it.
Roles and authority
- No photo
QC manager named with the authority to stop work
The plan states who can reject work and to whom they report — not the same person as production.
- No photo
Each definable feature of work has a named responsible party
A list of features with an owner, not a generic org chart.
- No photo
Testing agencies and special inspectors identified
Scope, qualification and reporting path for each third party.
Three-phase control
- 2 photos
Preparatory phase held before each feature of work
Submittals approved, materials on site and conforming, crew briefed on the acceptance criteria.
- 3 photos
Initial phase inspection on the first installation
Establish the workmanship standard on a real installation everyone can see and photograph.
- 2 photos
Follow-up inspections at defined intervals
Frequency stated in the plan, with a record of each one — not 'as required'.
Documentation
- 2 photos
Every inspection produces a dated, attributable record
Who inspected, what was inspected, what the result was, and the photos that support it.
- 1 photo
Records are tamper-evident and retained
The plan states how records are stored and how alteration would be detected.
- 1 photo
Test and material certifications filed against the feature of work
Certifications traceable to the installation they cover, not a pile at the end of the job.
Nonconformance
- 2 photos
Nonconformance report raised on rejection
Numbered, described, photographed and assigned — with the accepted disposition recorded.
- 2 photos
Corrective action verified and closed with evidence
A closing photo and a signature, not just a status change.
- No photo
Recurring nonconformances trigger a process change
The plan says what happens when the same item fails three times.
What usually sends this back
The failures are almost always the evidence, not the work
- The plan describes inspections but never names who signs them or where the record lives.
- Nonconformances tracked in a spreadsheet nobody opens after the first month.
- No preparatory meeting, so the first installation is the test case.
Run it with the Photo Gate
A checklist nobody can submit half-finished
Load this list into RTI, stick a QR tag on the area it covers, and the submit button stays locked until every mandatory item is answered and the 15 required photos exist. Approved walks roll into a branded turnover package with a tamper-evident record behind every line.
Submission state
The gate is enforced on the server, so it holds even if the phone is offline when the walk happens.
