Quality Issues Resolved

On most developments, no one is independently checking whether what's being built will actually perform — until it's too late. Our services reduce latent defects, lower lifecycle costs, improve operational performance and increase investor confidence by bringing back a missing governance layer – the independent quality function.

CQA delivers our services nationally.

Construction Quality Advisors delivers construction quality advisory services across individual projects and development portfolios.

Our Services

Clerk of Works

Regular, on-site quality inspection and audit.

Most projects have no independent check on this until it's too late.

Design Review

Review of design for future quality issues.

Issues caught on paper cost a fraction of the same issue found after construction starts.

Defect Management

Leadership of defect rectification on complex or distressed projects.

Without dedicated leadership, defects and costs compound while responsibility stays unclear.

Investor Representative

Periodic inspection and reporting aligned to the investor's requirements.

Many investors rely solely on the builder's own reporting.
