Written by Robin Gribling | Feb 10, 2026 7:04:35 AM

Quality assurance in construction requires overview, structure and clear records, and that is precisely where things often go wrong in practice.

In the construction industry, quality assurance is one of the most important aspects for the smooth running of a project. Whether checking building materials, complying with regulations or ensuring safety, quality assurance plays a crucial role at every stage of the construction process. At Ed Controls, we understand how important this is and offer a user-friendly solution to manage quality assurance easily and efficiently. In this blog, we take a closer look at why quality assurance is so important and how Ed Controls helps companies optimize this process.

What is quality assurance and why is it important?

Quality assurance (or quality assurance) is about ensuring that all aspects of a project meet the set standards and requirements. It revolves around processes that ensure the final delivery meets customer expectations and regulatory requirements. This can range from checking construction drawings to documenting the inspections performed.

In the construction industry, quality assurance means not only adhering to standards, but also preventing errors that can lead to delays, cost overruns and even safety risks. Without solid quality control, small discrepancies can quickly accumulate, leading to major problems during project delivery.
