this quality finished project on time and with good safety performance.
Woh Hup’s Quality Management Philosophy
6. What sets Woh Hup apart from its peers is its high level of professionalism
and its commitment to quality management. Woh Hup’s comprehensive quality
control systems, which include stringent in-process inspection at prescribed
frequency, help to raise the quality standards of its projects. The quality of
workmanship is checked by Woh Hup’s construction supervisory team and
assessed independently by the firm’s Quality Assurance Department in
accordance with the Project Quality Plan and the Inspection and Test Plan. Each
succeeding activity will not commence until its preceding activity is inspected and
meets the quality standards required.
7. All levels of Woh Hup’s construction team are trained to understand and
apply the BCA’s Construction Quality Assessment System (CONQUAS)
requirements to ensure consistent delivery of high standard of workmanship.
CONQUAS is regarded by the industry as the de facto national yardstick for
measuring construction quality. In-house hands-on quality assurance/quality
control training are also conducted for the site staff, including subcontractors. Staff
also shares experiences on good and bad practices learnt from previous projects.
8. The company is now introducing more technology-based ideas into the
construction process such as the research and development into productivity
analysis software, defects control system and e-integrated management system.
Woh Hup has devised a defects control system for inspecting and controlling
defects in completed units prior to handing over. The system also effectively
monitors the progress and completion of rectification works by the relevant
subcontractors and ensures the proper closing out of these defects. The adoption
of this system effectively minimises handover disputes and facilitated inspection
and efficient control of defects.
