The new edition of O'Brien's Construction Inspection Handbook,
Fourth Edition systematically reinstates the importance of quality
control by providing you with a comprehensive quality assurance
plan. At the same time, this new Fourth Edition helps ensure that
your construction projects meet contract specifications, comply
with Construction Specification Institute standards, and conform
with legal codes. The book first provides you with the quality
assurance plan - a systematic outline of all the procedures you
must perform to evaluate project quality. The book's clear, concise
explanations of each procedure enable you to conduct thorough
inspections in the shortest possible time. Not only does this
fourth edition show you how the QA plan is correlated with codes
and standards, contract documents, and various legal aspects, it
also offers an array of new material on quality trend setters from
Frederick Taylor (1885) to W. Edwards Deming (1960's); ISO 9000 -
describes the process and discusses how it may or may not serve as
the TQM plan; partnering - incorporates a formal process to
encourage a win-win cooperative effort to benefit all the
stakeholders involved with a construction project; and Total
Quality Management - discusses TQM mission statement,
implementation plan and specific means of measuring performance.
Highly revised and updated the fourth section of the book describes
the concept of quality control through which the plan is
practically applied. Special aspects of quality control include
field testing and field administration as well as a new section on
contractor prepared quality control plans. In describing
characteristics of the typical construction project, the third
section of the text is conveniently organized according to the 16
divisions of the CSI categories. This format enables field
inspectors and resident engineers to correlate the handbook
directly with a portion of the building contract. In addition, the
handbook offers extensive appendices, offering a list of the ASTM
standards, legends and abbreviations, and names of organizations
relevant to the construction process.
