Construction inspection is one of the most critical processes of any construction business. Inspections involve an examination, testing, measurement, and comparison of items or materials. Earlier, things were done manually. However, with the advancement of technologies, businesses are shifting from conventional paper form to digital or mobile form.

And why not? Every supervisor is always under tremendous pressure to complete their work on time. They are continually pushing hard to meet deadlines. Using mobile forms can help them solve this problem.

Here are a few reasons why you should consider digital construction quality check: 

Minimizes Paperwork and Speeds up Inspection

When you shift from paperwork to a digital process, sharing and collaboration of files become easier. All of your data and other documents are stored in a cloud database. The advantage here is that you can access them from anywhere — even if you are not in the office, you can get the information you need.

Besides, mobile forms are much easier to manage. Instead of having to visit the job site to explain the problem, you can simply enter a few details on a mobile form and include some pictures. 

Once the form is uploaded on the cloud, project managers can quickly review the issue and make informed decisions. It means you can get new materials and other changes approved faster, eliminating any delay.

Further, you need not worry about your information being lost due to work overload or dropping off a paper form at the end of the day.

Helps in Creating Accurate Compliance Report

One of the most significant merits of digitizing your inspection check program is that you can utilize a common data platform. All your data is centralized, which means you can have a clear insight into all your projects and program performance from a single platform. Thus, you can make more sound decisions on a daily basis.

When the data is uploaded automatically, it reduces the chances of human error. Besides, the reports created cannot be tampered with. With high transparency and accuracy, reports demonstrating compliance can be easily generated.

The construction industry has a few standard metrics for quality, such as coverage, conformance rate, and subcontractor scoring. Going paperless confirms that the system accurately analyzes all the data and generates an insightful report. 

Improved Quality and Minimized Rework

With digital checklists, a team can proactively manage quality inspection across the project. Adopting technology to digitize your quality control programs helps you set a specific standardized procedure and reduce rework.

In a typical construction process, a subcontractor may have checklists for various tasks being performed in the field. The subcontractor would want to provide common checklists to some of their workers and different checklists for others.  They can assign these checklists easily and then each worker can capture information on-site using mobile forms. They can capture notes, attach photos, scan QR codes and easily share that information with the subcontractor. This ensures quick and accurate data for high-quality decision making.

Final Thoughts

You have two choices — either stick to the same old paper forms and continue dealing with all the delays and repetitive tasks. Or, you can opt for the digital checklist to avoid human error and improve operational efficiency. 

Choose the right solution that improves productivity and fits your business needs.
