Construction · Defined
Quality control (QC)
Checks and corrective actions used to determine whether materials and work meet the specified requirements.
Why it matters
Testing, inspection, and acceptance responsibilities depend on the contract and applicable requirements. A lender’s periodic observation does not replace the contractor’s QC program.
In practice
A project example
A failed test prompts evaluation and corrective work before acceptance of the affected installation.
