Rethinking quality control

Tony Smith, Head of Technical Compliance, outlines how the industry should effectively utilise non-compliance reports to improve its approach to quality control

In a recent article for Construction Management, Tony Smith, Head of Technical Compliance, shared a compelling vision for how the industry must evolve its approach to quality control.

In his piece, Tony outlines how a shift from an 'anti-mistake' mindset to proactive problem-solving is essential for safer and more efficient construction.

Other key highlights include:

  • The Building Safety Act raising the stakes for compliance, demanding a more rigorous and transparent approach to site issues
  • Championing the use of Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) at SRM, not just as a record of mistakes, but as a tool for learning and improvement
  • The company’s ‘Quality Build Sure Community’ initiative introducing peer reviews every six months to foster accountability, competence, and cultural change
