Groundworking Construction Quality Reviews
Supporting groundworkers to drive quality improvements
Unlock unparalleled site performance with our Groundworking CQRs – an expert-led, independent review of groundworking quality across your site. We assess up to 10 critical build stages in around an hour and a half, covering drainage, foundations, substructure and external works.
Each CQR delivers a detailed, bespoke report offering valuable insights to understand how levels of quality (both good and not so good) have been achieved and their root causes; it also promotes best practices and includes guidance and support.
We can also benchmark your results against industry trends and similar companies, giving you a competitive edge with national and regional insights. Boost your performance today!
How does it work?
In advance
We will contact the site representative with a date and time for the CQR, providing at least 24 hours notice.
On the day
There will be an initial meeting with the site representative to gain an overall view of the site and build quality.
Site review
It takes approximately up to two hours, depending on the type of CQR, and captures as many build stages as possible. We will thoroughly investigate quality issues and their underlying causes and offer informal guidance and tips to improve build quality. Before leaving the site the reviewer will provide high-level feedback and explore root causes.
Following the review
At a site level, you'll receive a detailed report covering the work seen on the day. Each build stage will include detailed comments, a 6-point scoring scale, photographic evidence and root causes.
Depending on the volume of CQRs you commission, we will provide detailed reporting at a business level to highlight trends and benchmark internal performance between business units and against national and regional peers.
