To guarantee quality
A quality framework is a process that examines, in a comprehensive manner, the different aspects (processes, products, people, etc.) of a certain domain in the construction sector.
Its objective? To guarantee the quality of the concerned domain.
To achieve this, several aspects of the process are made measurable and traceable.

Methodology of quality frameworks
The methodology depends on the process and the quality goals aimed for, but always consists of three phases.
Proactive phase
Ensure that the company carries out the process with suitable products, competent personnel, appropriate resources, a good organization, etc.
Main phase
The company executing the process uploads, for every construction site, into a central database data and documents regarding planning and execution of works.
Reactive phase
The companies concerned are monitored by BCCA through sampling, on-site inspections and/or desktop controls.
How does a quality framework come about?
The quality requirements of a process and its monitoring are established through consultation with the stakeholders from the sector.
Based on the quality framework, we organize training, examinations, certification, recognition, etc.
After initial recognition, on-site or desktop audits are conducted in accordance with the quality framework's rules. These audits are designed to verify compliance with the framework's requirements during the execution of your activities. Findings during these audits lead to concrete actions to improve quality and reliability.
