ISBN: 9798171923877 - construction quality & rework prevention: how project managers build right the first time, control inspections, and stop defects before they multiply: 7 (the construction project manager series) (6 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The waterproofing membrane looked finished. Miguel Santos had walked it, clipboard in hand, and told you it was ready. Then the inspection failed. It is a site crisis every project manager knows too well. The crew has already moved to the next level. The concrete pour schedule has been shifted, access equipment struck, and the crane is on hire. Everyone involved has already decided the work is done. But on Wednesday morning, the inspector spots a tiny failure. Suddenly, a "finished" floor turns into days of costly rework, a delayed concrete pour, idle trades, and a painful, embarrassing conversation with the client. The real enemy isn't a careless subcontractor or a difficult inspector. The enemy is late quality discovery-a project structure that allows the truth about the work to surface only when it is too late to do anything about it cheaply. A defect caught before the crew leaves the floor costs minutes. A defect caught at inspection costs a rework cycle. A defect caught after the next trade has covered the work costs demolition, exposure, re-inspection, and commercial warfare. In Construction Quality & Rework Prevention, Daniel R. Whitmore reveals a game-changing truth: quality is a project management responsibility, not a delegated QA/QC task. This is not an inspection manual or a generic textbook. It is a field playbook for project managers who want to build quality into the work before inspection, catch defects early, and stop throwing away their profit margins on preventable rework. Stop Repairing the Work. Correct the Production System. Follow project manager Alex Morgan as he transitions from reactive defect-fixing to proactive quality control. Alongside superintendent Miguel Santos, commercial manager Rachel Kim, senior PM Priya Shah, and the sharp new Quality Manager, Nina Patel, you will learn how to build right the first time: Manage Quality Where Work is Planned: Control staffing continuity, sequencing, access, information flow, and commercial pressure long before an inspector ever arrives.Master First-Work Discipline: Stop letting a flawed installation method multiply. Test the method on the first unit, correct it while correction is still cheap, and only then let production scale.Check the Surrounding Conditions: Quality failures often begin in the substrate or predecessor work, not just final workmanship. Learn to verify the conditions before high-risk finishes are applied.Implement Pre-Cover Checklists: Establish a bulletproof pre-cover discipline to verify and photograph embedded, hidden, or concealed work before access disappears forever.Count the Real Cost of Rework: Rework is rarely just the material and labor to redo the work itself. Tally the lost productivity, double-handling, and trade disruption that quietly bleed your margin.Avoid "Closeout Debt" Stop letting minor defects accumulate into a "second project" at handover, leaving you with over 400 punch-list items and missing life-safety records.The Quality Prevention Toolkit Included Each of the 15 chapters closes with a field-tested, printable template to establish a proactive site rhythm: Project Quality Control SheetWorkfront Quality Readiness GatePre-Installation Quality ChecklistSubcontractor Quality Performance ScorecardRepetitive Defect Early-Warning RegisterWeekly Quality Control Meeting TemplateAnd 13 other high-impact quality tools.The cheapest defect is the one the project prevents before it is built.
