The importance of Quality Control and Project Due Dates in Estimation

Quality Control (QC) is a vital component in the success of any product or service. For example, Apple’s iPhone production includes a range of QC steps such as component testing, assembly line inspection, software diagnostics, drop and stress tests, and final review. These checks ensure both reliability and performance.

Similarly, project estimations must follow a systematic QC process. Accuracy is the core of every successful project, and timely delivery is equally important.

At MARA GROUP, estimations are never rushed or submitted without proper review. Every project goes through multiple layers of Quality Checks. First, estimators conduct their own QC, and then managers perform an additional review to ensure precision and consistency.

This means our process is not random or vague, but structured and methodical. Quality Checks include, but are not limited to:

• ITB Requirements Verification
• Phase-Wise Separation Checks (if applicable)
• Alternate Option Reviews (if any)
• Material Schedule Checks
• Room Finish Schedule and Room-by-Room Finishes
• Demolition Plan Review
• Window and Door Schedule Checks
• Keynotes and General Notes Review for Every Sheet
• Elevation, Section, and Interior Detail Checks
• Stair Checks
• Partial Plan Takeoffs Placed on Overall Plans (to ensure no area is missed or duplicated)
• Site Plan Checks (to ensure that all areas and buildings within the scope are included)
• Unit Matrix Checks
• Discrepancy Identification (including notifications or RFIs where needed)
• Specification Manual Review
• Underlayment Checks
• Complete PDF Review
• Quantity Sheet Verification

While accuracy and quality are top priorities, meeting project due dates is equally essential. This balance makes the job both challenging and rewarding. Timely delivery of accurate estimates enables contractors to bid on time, increasing their chances of winning. It also streamlines the bidding process and eliminates unnecessary hassle.
