not. Both options can include the use of QC
Specialists responsible for performing QC for
specific areas of work and for a specified
frequency. Specify QC Specialists for those areas
of work that are of sufficient complexity or size to
justify the expense.
Determine whether a full time QC Manager is
justified or designate the QC Manager as the Project
Superintendent, i.e. to act in a dual role. If the
QC Manager and Project Superintendent positions are
being filled as a dual role, that person shall not
be utilized as or the Commissioning Agent. Consider:
1. Design and complexity of project;
2. Location of project;
3. Cost and type of Contract;
4. Characteristics of area construction labor
market;
5. Amount and type of off-site fabrication.
6. Duration of project.
When requiring the use of a Registered Professional
Engineer/Architect or a graduate Engineer/Architect
for the QC Manager or QC Specialist(s), keep in mind
the additional cost. The over-specifying of
expertise for QC personnel should be avoided.
