QUALTIY PLAN

1. QUALITY OBJECTIVES & POLICIES

1.1 QUALITY OBJECTIVES
This document establishes the Quality Plan to be implemented by GLOBAL V Builders
for the project “SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT AND IMPROVEMENT OF DRAINAGE
SYSTEM, MANILA”
This plan is for Global V Builders project team’s documentation of the organizational
structure, functional responsibility, levels of authority, and lines of communications for the
activities that affect quality. Quality is everyone’s responsibility. All team members who perform
quality functions have sufficient authority, access to work areas, and organizational freedom to:
1. Verify that all provisions have been made to provide required control testing.
2. Monitor the design, and contractor’s daily work progress.
3. Check dimensional requirements.
4. Visually inspects materials received on site for proper documentation, completeness, and
condition.
5. Observe all required tests such as mechanical and electrical to verify that they are in
compliance with the specifications.
6. Ensure the completion of all deficiencies in materials and workmanship in a timely
manner.
7. Maintain a document control file.
8. Work closely with all testing agencies to verify that all required tests are able to be
performed.
1.2 QUALITY POLICIES
Global V Builders Quality Plan will ensure a uniform high-quality level of workmanship
through all phases of construction, including planning, construction, and turnover. To meet this
goal, the following principles will be observed:
1. Ensure the highest level of quality by maintaining supervised controls and written
instructions governing Quality Control procedures and practices.
2. Establish clearly defined responsibility and authority for compliance.
3. Meet contractual requirements by conformance to Contract Documents and applicable
standards.
4. Complete and maintain accurate records of inspections and tests.
5. Identify and advise GLOBAL V BUILDERS and the Consultant of quality related non-
conformance for timely corrective action. Ensure that corrective action is properly
implemented and documented.
6. Maintain procedures to ensure that quality requirements are communicated to all levels of
the field organization, including trade contractors.
 It is the intent of the plan that the function of quality control be one of cooperation. It is
not the responsibility of the quality control staff to “police the job”, but to provide review
and assistance to the operations staff (including trade contractors) to enable those
involved to achieve a quality end product. To be proactive in approach, to anticipate
problems and take corrective action before they occur.

5.0 CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION & TESTING PLAN

Global V Builders, Inspection and Testing Plan for the project “SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
AND IMPROVEMENT OF DRAINAGE SYSTEM, MANILA” will be develop by drawing
information and design calculation, as well as the experience of Global V builders Staff and
design consultants.
Inspection of materials and work in progress will be the responsibility of Key Personnel in
construction. Project Managers and Engineers to ensure that the work conforms to the contract
documents and is ready for testing and witness by the PNU representative. The following are
inspection to be done:

1. Field Inspection
2. Approved Material Inspection
3. Material Test Procedure
4. Re work procedure
5. Testing & Inspection data

6.0 DOCUMENTATION FOR NON-CONFORMITIES

Each inspector for the different field shall submit a list of deficiencies to Global V builders
following each inspection. GLOBAL V BUILDERS will log these items on a central deficiency
log, and distribute the inspection reports to the non-compliant trade contractors. A copy of the
log for each inspection will be printed off and placed in a binder in the job site plan room. Once
the deficient item has been corrected and reinspected, the inspector will sign off against the item
in the plan room binder copy – from this the central electronic log will be updated. The intent of
this pro-active approach towards quality is to identify problems and non-conformities at the
earliest stage possible in the construction process so that timely and cost-effective corrective
action can be taken.
This same central log will be used to log and track deficiency items raised by testing agents and
other inspectors. It is critical to note that the term “sign off” should in no way be construed as
final acceptance of the construction, which remains to be the responsibility of GLOBAL V
BUILDERS, the Architect, Consultants and Subtrades
