Which items are included in a quality management plan?

• A. Project and owner quality assurance organization, management decisions levels/authority
• B. ISO 9001 Standards
• C. The BIM Execution Plan
• D. The owner's schedule contingency

Answer: (A)

The main idea is to establish who is responsible for quality and how quality decisions are made on the project. A quality management plan outlines the project and owner quality assurance organization and the levels of authority for management decisions, so everyone knows who has the power to approve quality-related actions, who handles QA and QC activities, and how issues are escalated and resolved. By defining these roles and decision rights, the plan creates clear accountability and a consistent approach to meeting quality objectives throughout design and construction. References to ISO 9001 may appear in project documentation, but the plan itself focuses on internal governance—who is responsible for quality and how decisions are made—rather than listing external standards. The BIM Execution Plan and the owner's schedule contingency address BIM workflows and schedule risk, respectively, and are not the items typically described in a quality management plan.
