- Analyse recurring quality issues and implement preventive measures to minimise repeated defects.
4. Façade Quality Assurance and Testing
- Coordinate quality assurance activities for façade and curtain wall fabrication, delivery and installation.
- Monitor compliance with approved drawings, specifications, method statements, ITPs and project quality requirements.
- Coordinate relevant façade performance tests, including water penetration, air infiltration and structural performance testing, where applicable.
- Liaise with accredited testing laboratories and review relevant test reports and supporting documentation.
- Conduct quality process audits and follow up on deviations, incomplete records and unauthorised work or fabrication.
- Coordinate master sample approval, sample retention and site verification against approved samples.
5. BCA, CONQUAS and Quality Compliance
- Coordinate with project teams, consultants, Qualified Persons (QPs), clients and relevant authorities on project quality matters.
- Support CONQUAS assessments, Quality Mark requirements and BCA inspections where applicable to the project.
- Monitor quality benchmarks, workmanship requirements and defect rectification progress.
- Prepare monthly quality reports, quality trend analyses, CONQUAS-related records, snag lists and handover quality documentation.
- Conduct quality briefings and training for site engineers, supervisors and subcontractors on inspection procedures, documentation and workmanship requirements.
6. Subcontractor and Supplier Quality Management
