There can be two Qa/Qc Manuals of project; one from Consultant to Client and second from Contractor to Consultant. The Consultant will develop Quality Assurance and Quality Control manual subsequent to award of Consultancy Contract. Contractor will also develop Qa/Qc manual after mobilization in line with contract documents and Consultant’s Qa/Qc manual.

The purpose of the Consultant’s Qa/Qc manual is to provide guidance on how the Employer expects the Engineer to manage the supervision of the project. It will not cover the relationship between the Client and the Engineer but covers the relationship between the Consultant (or representative) and the Contractor. The relationship between the Employer and the Consulting Engineer is outside the scope of this manual and will be covered in the terms of the Contract agreed between the two parties.

The Consultant’s Qa/Qc manual will cover all of the items and activities that the Consultant will need to consider in the successful supervision of the Client’s Contract with the Contractor. Furthermore it will indicate how these items and activities need to be undertaken and the minimum records that will need to be maintained to demonstrate that the Contractor is performing the Work to the necessary standard.

QA/QC

Quality assurance and quality control

This article is about the concept in industry. For the concept in chemical analysis, see Analytical quality control

QA/QC is the combination of quality assurance, the process or set of processes used to measure and assure the quality of a product, and quality control, the process of ensuring products and services meet consumer expectations.

"Quality assurance" is process oriented and focuses on defect prevention, while "quality control" is product oriented and focuses on defect identification.[1][2] The term 'defect' here refers to 'product defect'.
