In substance

What QA/QC is

QA prevents defects — system, procedures, competence, quality plan. QC detects them — inspections, measurement, testing. Separating the two and running an ITP with defined hold points turns quality from a claim into a measurable process.

When you need this service

There is no quality plan

No ITP, no hold points, no acceptance criteria — every stage is accepted by agreement.

Non-conformances are not recorded

Defects are discussed verbally, there is no NCR register and closure is untracked.

Testing is sporadic

Laboratory control is a formality and results are not tied to specific elements and batches.

HSE is unmanaged

Briefings are nominal, PPE is uncontrolled and violations carry no consequence.

An investor or lender requires compliance

A financing institution or foreign shareholder requires a demonstrable quality and HSE system.

What we do

Quality plan and ITP

Project quality plan and Inspection & Test Plan with hold points, acceptance criteria and responsible parties.

Inspections and testing

Inspections executed against the ITP, laboratory testing arranged, records maintained and tied to elements.

Non-conformance management

NCR register maintained, corrective actions assigned, closure tracked and root causes analysed.

HSE plan and inspections

Occupational, industrial and environmental safety requirements, regular site inspections and audits.

Training and safety culture

Induction and task briefings, toolbox talks, incident and near-miss reviews.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Not answered here? Write to us and we will respond on your case.

QA is quality assurance — system, procedures, quality plan, personnel competence: preventing defects. QC is quality control — inspection, measurement and testing: detecting defects. A working system needs both.

An Inspection & Test Plan lists the control points for each work type with the inspection method, acceptance criteria, required records and responsible parties. It makes acceptance predictable for everyone involved.

Responsibility for its own workforce remains with the contractor. INVECON sets the project requirements, monitors compliance, records violations, enforces closure and stops work where violations are critical.
