Responsibility: Superintendent
A site-specific quality control management plan is required on ALL Granger projects and should be drafted by the Superintendent and then reviewed by the PM/SPM and Granger Quality Control Manager. This plan is a guide for the quality management on your project, including CD reviews and updates, submittals, permitting and inspections, pre-installation meetings, commissioning, mockup coordination, non-conforming work and punch list items. The referenced guide is an outline that is intended to be followed when creating your site-specific quality control management plan.

Mockups
Responsibility:
Mockups are vital for quality control in construction because they allow for a physical representation of the finished product to be reviewed and tested before construction begins. Mockups are scaled down to versions of the final product built to the actual construction specifications, materials, and finishes. They help to identify potential quality issues early in the construction process, allowing concerns to be addressed and corrected before they become more significant. Mockups can also help minimize waste and reduce costs by identifying any issues with materials, finishes, or design before they are incorporated into construction. This can help to avoid costly rework or modifications down the line. You need to list all required mockups per the contract documents and consult with your owner and architect to decide if any other mockups would be beneficial to the project and ensure you buy those during the bidding process by adding them to work scopes. All mockups are to be listed on the form located on the GPS and included as part of the Site Specific Quality Control Plan.

Preinstall Meetings
Responsibility:
A Pre-Installation meeting is a critical step in the execution of a QCAP and is the last formal opportunity to make corrections before the start of construction. During the meeting, these topics must be addressed:
-
Coordination of Construction Activities
-
Production of Unit Rates
-
Verification of Construction Documents
-
Risk Identification and Mitigation
-
Material and Equipment Coordination
-
Testing and Inspection Requirements
-
Closeout Expectations
Systems Integration Meetings
Responsibility:
A system integration meeting is necessary when brining two or more building systems, materials, or equipment together. This must be coordinated to ensure the components are compatible and will operate together as the design team and owner intend. The above ceiling MEP coordination could also be a required meeting or set of meetings if something 'other than BIM is intended to be used for the project. These meetings must be completed early in the project so material lead times and phasing changes can be absorbed into the project schedule. These meetings must occur before or at the first submission of the subcontractors shop drawings of their system.
Examples of systems integration meetings are:
-
Roofing/ Structural Steel / MEP Equipment
-
During these meetings items such as flashing details around curbs and equipment rails must be confirmed.
-
-
Exterior Building Envelope (Doors/Windows/Flashing Details/AVB)
-
Door Hardware and Security
-
Security/Fire Alarm/MEP Equipment
-
Above Ceiling Coordination
-
Electrical/Communication/System Furniture/End user components
-
Fire Alarm/ Security/ Electrical/ Elevators
Utilize Procore Meetings Project Tool for templated agendas for these meetings.
Third Party Testing, Inspections and Consultants
Responsibility:
Third party inspections & testing are typically performed by third part testing firms or consultants hired by the owner. These are required to be identified within the contract documents and listed on the required tests & inspections the form located on the GPS and included as part of the Site Specific Quality Control Plan. Be sure to schedule all inspections ahead of time and document in Procore’s daily log under Inspections.

Responsibility:
The quality action plan works in tandem with the Site Specific Quality Control Plan to help keep tasks on schedule, assign responsibility and document the process. This is done through the Quality Action Plans Project Tool in Procore.

Outside of health, safety, and fire, water damage during construction is the most significant risk to a projects schedule, finances, and overall quality. This plan addresses the proactive and reactive measures we can take as a company and throughout the project's life cycle to ensure that we consistently evaluate how to keep water damage to a minimum during and after construction. Water mitigation techniques during construction must be a part of the design and incorporated into the contract documents during preconstruction. Site logistics, phasing, and temporary protection details must also be evaluated for effectiveness against water damage to ensure that work in place or stored materials will not be affected by potential water damage during construction. Our responsibility as good stewards of the project is to constantly evaluate the changing onsite conditions to adequately react to a water emergency and be proactive in our planning to ensure water damage and moisture do not negatively impact the project.

If your project was designed and is being constructed to meet LEED certification, there will be an additional list of documentation & processes related to construction that will be required to be take part in. These will be identified by the project team based on what points the project will be pursuing. Consult your project team prior to planning LEED related activities.

A Pre-Task Safety Analysis is filled out daily by all foremen onsite. The purpose of a Pre-Task Plan is for teams to review their work and the hazards associated with their work before starting their day. Reviewing the pre-task plan ensures that all team members are aware of the hazards that they should be looking out for each day.
The Pre-Task Plan can be filled out in a paper form, or can be completed via the Procore Forms Tool mobile app.

Responsibility:
Proper reporting & documentation of safety processes, procedures and issues during construction is essential to the safety culture at Granger and reinforces our proactive approach. Reporting of incidents & violations are handled through Procore, as well as many of the weekly & daily inspections to be performed by subcontractors. Consult Safety Issues & Inspections Reporting documentation available on the GPS.
