We have had some discussion about Quality Controls and inspections related to Estimates with missing items.

Areas that will interest you.

  • Section 4 Payments
  • Section 12 Sub-contractors

If it takes them 20 times to get measurements correct they still only get paid one time for the unit.

 

If you accept their mistakes you just gave this company free money for not doing their jobs.

They actually don't do the work, it's their sub-contractors so again, you are paying people to make mistakes.

You can only offer QC and QA on data collected that is perfect.

If I take one picture of one room and measure one room and finished my report my QA and QC will be perfect for one room.

The QC is completed by pictures, homes description, etc. If data is omitted it passes QC many times.
