Amana Group takes a three-phase approach to quality assurance and quality control to eliminate opportunities for error, thus reducing or eliminating defects and their associated costs.

Phase One – Preparatory Inspection
Performed before mobilizing to a construction site, the preparatory inspection establishes the controls that would be required during actual construction, verifies all equipment and materials have been reviewed and approved for use, and ensures all staff on site understand the work required.

Phase Two – Initial Inspection
The initial inspection is a major checkpoint to ensure that everything is ready before actually proceeding. At this phase, all parties must guarantee that controls established during preparatory inspections are adequate and workmanship is as expected. Any corrective action, changes in methods, reemphasis on quality, or recommendations to improve the work done must be discussed at this stage before work can begin. A project cannot proceed unless this phase is completed.

Phase Three – Follow-Up Inspections
A continual process, follow-up inspections provide regular monitoring of progress and work performed. Performed daily, all observations are noted in the Quality Control Report.
