Quality Assessment

CONSTRUCTION CHECKLIST
Instructions:
• The PM will provide a copy of the Quality Assessment (QA) Development and Construction Checklists to the Project Architect (PA) and General
Contractor (GC) during the identified project process step.
• The PA has prime responsibility for quality assurance on the project.
• The PA should ensure completion of both QA checklists with the assistance of the GC.
• These checklists are to be used throughout the duration of the project.
• The PM ensures that the QA checklists are applied during all new construction projects and that all required verification information is gathered
and filed upon completion of the project.

QA Checklist requirements and responsibilities:

• The PA reviews each of the QA checklist items with the assistance of the GC and uses the indicated Verification Criteria to verify that each item
has been completed correctly.
• The PA & GC provides the requested evidence (photographs, field reports, test results, record drawings, contract documentation, etc.) verifying
compliance.
• The PA provides both completed QA checklists and documented evidence to the PM at the completion of the project.

The checklists and documentation serve as a basis for the project Quality Assessment (QA) review. All documentation should be brought to the
QA review. This information is critical for an effective QA assessment and any missing or incomplete information may negatively impact the QA
score.
