Built Right QC

"The defect you document at the inspection stage costs a fraction of the one you discover at closeout — and nothing compared to the one you discover in court."Beyond 40 Construction Training

What you'll learn

What you'll be able to do

  • Build and implement a project-specific Quality Control Plan (QCP) aligned with contract specifications and industry standards
  • Conduct rigorous material submittals and shop drawing reviews to prevent non-conforming materials from reaching the site
  • Execute and document structured field inspections — concrete pours, structural steel, roofing, MEP rough-ins — using industry-standard checklists
  • Identify, log, and formally close out non-conformance reports (NCRs) before defects cascade into rework or legal disputes
  • Interpret ITP (Inspection and Test Plans) and coordinate third-party special inspections and testing labs with confidence
  • Build audit-ready QA documentation packages — daily reports, test logs, RFIs, and punch lists — that protect the project and your professional reputation

Who it's for

Is this you?

Field Engineers Moving into QC

You've got the technical chops from the field — this program gives you the formal systems, documentation discipline, and QCP framework to own the QC role with confidence.

Site Supervisors

You're catching defects by instinct right now — learn to catch them by system, document them properly, and stop rework before it eats your schedule and budget.

Project Managers

Build QA systems that don't depend on any single person on the crew — so inspections, NCRs, and closeout documentation protect the project no matter who's on shift.

QA/QC Inspectors

You know what to look for in the field — this program formalizes the ITPs, NCR processes, and audit-ready documentation that turn your observations into contractually defensible records.

Newly Promoted Supervisors

Just stepped up from the tools or a trade role? This course starts with the fundamentals of specs and standards and builds you into someone who can run a full quality program from day one.

Infrastructure & Civil Professionals

From earthwork compaction to third-party testing coordination, the inspection frameworks and documentation standards here translate directly to road, utility, and civil construction environments.

Beyond 40 Construction Training

Beyond 40 Construction Training

If you're reading this, you've probably been the person on-site who spotted the problem — the bad batch of concrete, the weld that didn't look right, the submittal that nobody actually reviewed — and you either didn't have the formal tools to act on it, or you acted on it and the paperwork didn't back you up. I've been there. That gap between knowing something's wrong and being able to prove it, document it, and force a resolution is where projects bleed money and where careers stall out.

Quality control in construction has a reputation for being bureaucratic box-checking. That reputation exists because most people learn it by osmosis — watching someone else fill out a form, inheriting a QCP that was copied from the last project, or getting handed a checklist with no explanation of why each item is on it. The result is documentation that looks complete but doesn't actually protect anyone when the owner's attorney starts asking questions.

What I built in this program is the system I wish I'd had early in my career. Not theory for its own sake — every framework, every checklist approach, every NCR protocol is grounded in what actually happens in the field, what contract specifications actually require, and what survives scrutiny when a project goes sideways. You'll learn to build a Quality Control Plan that fits your actual project scope, to run trade-by-trade inspections with the right eyes, and to produce documentation that a third-party auditor — or a judge — can follow without calling you for clarification.

The people I built this for are field engineers who got promoted into QC roles and need to professionalize fast, site supervisors who are tired of discovering defects too late, project managers who want QA systems that don't depend on whoever happens to be sharpest on the crew that day, and inspectors who know their stuff in the field but haven't formalized the paperwork side. If you're any of those people, you're exactly who this program is designed for.

There's no shortcut to building quality into a construction project, but there is a system. Learn the system, apply it consistently, and the defects you catch at the inspection stage stop becoming the rework and litigation that define — or end — careers. That's what Built Right QC is here to do. Come build it right.
