They also serve as evidence that payment milestones have been fulfilled in accordance with customer contract codes standards and project specifications.

Checklists must be straightforward and straightforward in their use; they should contain standard questions that can easily be verified. They should also offer guidance for how to address deficiencies; furthermore, they should be flexible enough to adapt to each unique project.

Quality checklists must be easy to use by both subcontractors and inspection teams, compatible with mobile devices and capable of collecting inspection data efficiently and effectively – particularly when used alongside professional digital software such as PlanRadar.

Checklist for the Owner
No matter if your company is undertaking a small renovation or large infrastructure projects such as bridges and skyscrapers, quality control remains key in order to meet client specifications on time while reducing costly problems later on.

Checklists can be an efficient tool for tracking work progress. However, it’s vital that they be kept brief if they are to remain useful; otherwise your team could end up spending their time checking off irrelevant items that don’t pertain to the current phase of construction.

Also, smart checklist templates with real-time updates that are instantly accessible are an effective way of speeding up and streamlining the audit process for everyone involved. Utilizing digital tools is even better as they can be edited from any device making them user-friendly for both clients and construction experts, plus images/text can easily be uploaded onto these checklists.
