13 · Quality Issues

Catch it on site, not in the final account.

Raise, classify and close quality issues with severity and issue-type weighting behind them — escalate to an NCR where it matters, and let recurring pressure surface on the risk register instead of hiding in a folder.

Quality issue register
Raise it, weight it, close it

An issue with a number behind it.

Every issue carries a severity and an issue type, each with its own weight — so ten cosmetic snags never outrank one structural defect.

⚠️

Raise & classify

Log the issue against the project, section or WBS node, with severity and issue type.

Weighted scoring

Severity × issue-type weighting drives a quality-pressure score, not a raw count.

📜

Escalate to NCR

Close an issue as escalate and the linked non-conformance report spawns automatically.

The quality chain

Issue → inspection → risk.

Nothing sits in isolation. An issue can trigger an inspection, an inspection can raise an NCR, and a recurring pattern becomes a risk on the register.

Issue raisedA defect is logged on site against the project, section and subcontractor, carrying its severity, issue type and photographic evidence.
InspectionThe issue is verified through an inspection with its checklist, hold points and witness points — not closed on somebody’s word.
NCRWhere the defect is formal, approving the closure spawns the linked non-conformance report with its own approval and evidence trail.
Risk registerRepeat issues on the same package stop being tickets and become a tracked risk with an owner, a probability and a mitigation.
In the product

Where quality becomes cost.

The chain from a snag on site to a score on the vendor.

Quality dashboardQuality dashboard
Vendor quality rating

Quality that follows the subcontractor.

Issues and inspection pass-rates feed a derived vendor score with grade bands, an auto/manual override that demands a reason, and a full exportable ledger.

🏆

Derived score

A 0–100 quality score behind the familiar star rating — earned, not typed.

📝

Override with reason

Procurement can force a rating, but it writes a ledger line.

📋

Exportable ledger

Nothing moves the score without a visible, exportable entry.

Quality that shows up in the numbers.

From a snag on site to a score on the vendor.
