Synopsis
In addition to quality control (QC), this book introduces the concept of quality assurance (QA). Quality assurance has a number of definitions, but in general is the combination of the quality assurance plan with procedures through which the quality control inspector can inspect in the field. The book is arranged in categories so that is can be used in handbook fashion; each section stands independent of the others. The arrangement of the major portion of the book is organized in the same format as we usually find in building construction specification, the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) format.

Synopsis
This edition helps ensure that construction projects meet contract specifications, comply with Construction Specification Institute standards, and conform with safety requirements and legal codes. The handbook first provides the quality assurance plan - a systematic outline of all the procedures you must perform to evaluate project quality. The book's explanations of each procedure enable you to conduct thorough inspections in the shortest possible time. The book also shows how that QA plan is correlated with codes and standards, contract documents, and various legal aspects. The second portion of the book then describes the concept of quality control through which the plan is practically applied. Special aspects of quality control include field test, temporary construction, field administration, and safety considerations.

Hardback. Condition: Good. The inspection team must become familiar with the plans and the specifica- tions; they form the basis upon which the QC inspection is made. The in- spector must realize that errors and omissions will be discovered, and will have to be duly reported to management. Wherever an error or omission is substantial, it is appropriate to review it with the designer first to ensure that the error noted is valid. The QC inspection team is on the job to be objective, and to enforce the contract as written. When the contract does not suffice to cover the work conditions, then the Inspector should request the opportunity to prepare an appropriate clarification or change order to the contract. The question of whether a change order is to result in a credit to the owner or to the contractor is a matter of interpretation of the plans and specifications. The Inspector should exercise great care to avoid casual commitment or agreement with change items, and should first research a change or requirement in the plans and specifications to determine that it is not included in the contractual scope-either partially or completely. Next, the inspector should collaborate with the management team, receiving their agreement before making any commitments or carrying on any conclusive discussions with the contractor. From that point on, standard change order procedures, approvals, and doc- umentation should be followed. Seller Inventory # CIN0442205597G
