'Quality hold points' for housebuilding?

摘要

Housebuilding is often seen as an industry where new homes cost more, deliver less and are poorly constructed.The combination of a skills shortage, ineffective quality assurance, inadequate site supervision and fragmented delivery has meant quality becoming a casualty in the pursuit of speed, volume and cost-cutting.One way to change this culture is through "quality hold points"; where critical stages are checked and verified by an independent quality inspector before further work can proceed.
