Presenter: M. Steven Welsh

This session will provide an overview of fire protection and life safety construction quality control (QC), which involves the active on-site monitoring of construction activities. QC is intended to provoke a desired result through the execution of the contract documents, by specifically monitoring, and documenting the contractor’s performance from before the start of their work through completion. The main objective of this presentation is to discuss methodology for completing QC. Full QC is not often performed by fire protection engineers, but is becoming more common, especially on government jobs. This session will provide practical discussion with pictures and real life examples.
