How to Implement Construction Quality Control Checklist in eAuditor Audits & Inspections:

1. Template Setup: Use the eAuditor Audits & Inspections template builder to add each section and its associated questions as outlined in Construction Quality Control Checklist or use existing Construction Quality Control Checklist.
2. Use Conditional Logic: Set conditional fields that only show relevant sections for specific activities (e.g., skip MEP sections if they are not part of the inspection).
3. Automate Tasks: Assign actions for follow-up work if any defects or non-compliance issues are identified during the inspection.
4. Generate Reports: Automatically create PDF or web-based reports after inspections for record-keeping and easy communication with clients and stakeholders.
5. Track Progress: Monitor open issues, track corrective actions, and schedule periodic inspections using eAuditor Audits & Inspection’s real-time tracking features.

This Construction Quality Control Checklist helps ensure that all aspects of a construction project are inspected and meet the required standards, from pre-construction to final inspections and handover.
