Quality Control Systems
Quality Control Systems are organized methods and procedures used in modular construction to ensure buildings and components meet required standards. Think of it as a checklist-based approach that helps construction teams maintain consistency and catch problems early. These systems typically include inspection protocols, documentation processes, and tracking methods that construction teams use to verify work quality at each stage of building. While traditional construction does quality checks on-site, modular construction needs strict quality control in the factory where modules are built, during transportation, and during final assembly.
