Construction monitoring (CM) is increasingly required, but there are a number of levels to choose from and it can be hard to understand which one is needed and when. Not to mention who is responsible for choosing the correct level. In addition, as CM levels increase, the lines between CM and quality control also blur.

To help make these aspects of CM clearer, we’ve collated our top three performing articles in one place.

 

 

PRODUCER STATEMENTS AND CONSTRUCTION MONITORING

Engineers use their expertise to ensure the right materials have been selected to ensure the building will be fit for purpose. This is documented in a Producer Statement. You can read more about Producer Statements here.

 

Construction Monitoring is the on-the-ground checking of the construction process as it takes place. It is done by a specialist (usually an engineer) and adds value where specialist knowledge is required. The purpose is to ensure that an engineering design is understood correctly and built accordingly. You can read more about construction monitoring, including a description of the levels in the full article here.

 

UNDERSTANDING CONSTRUCTION MONITORING LEVELS FOR INTERIOR ENGINEERING

There are five levels of construction monitoring. The CM level varies from project to project, and the level is chosen based on factors such as project size, importance, complexity and the skill or experience of the constructor. To understand what is included at each level and to understand which types of projects typically choose which level, you can read the full article here.

 

UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A PS4 AND QUALITY CONTROL

The confusion between a PS4 and Quality Control arises because there is some overlap on the types of things that are checked. However, they are checked for different purposes and for different authorities. When higher levels of construction monitoring are employed, it can become a grey area. This article outlines when construction monitoring begins to overlap quality control and discusses how the engineer and builder relationship plays a part in choosing the correct level of construction monitoring.
