Who is MOST commonly responsible for implementing quality control during construction?

• A. Builder's quality control manager
• B. Project manager
• C. Site superintendent
• D. Quality assurance inspector

Answer: (A)

Quality control on a construction project is driven by a dedicated function that designs the QC plan, sets procedures, and ensures they’re followed across all trades. The builder's quality control manager is the person who implements these QC activities, coordinating inspections with the site team and subcontractors and keeping records of nonconformances and corrective actions. The project manager oversees overall scope, schedule, and budget, while the site superintendent handles day-to-day field operations. An on-site quality assurance inspector performs checks, but the actual program implementation and ongoing quality control management come from the QC manager. That makes the builder's quality control manager the best choice.
