Correctly and systematically streamlining final sign-offs, building code review and visual inspections at the factory level can be the difference between achieving the efficiency advantages of offsite construction or getting bogged down by costly on-site repairs/rework that eat into your profit margins. In this How to Guide for Prefab Leaders, we review how to build a robust quality control program for commercial prefab and how to manage the entire inspection process through digital tools like Offsight.

When undertaking commercial prefab projects, it’s important to build a robust quality control program that can supplement your factory assembly process. While it may seem cumbersome to manage frequent building code inspections and sign-offs throughout factory assembly, actually having a robust process in place can expedite your project schedule by reducing costly on-site rework and return to factory repairs. To build your quality inspection process, we start by creating digital quality workflows in Offsight’s Management Dashboard. These workflows define how each product type (panel, pod, module, etc) moves through production and the key stages where quality verification checklists and sign-offs need to be completed.
