VERTEX offers expert Quality Assurance & Inspection services, providing effective planning, site inspection, and monitoring to ensure your completed building meets the expected quality standards.
Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC)
In the construction industry, quality is a measure of excellence in how well a finished building meets the owner and end user’s needs and requirements. Whether you’re a building owner, architect, contractor, or construction manager, quality is the primary goal of any construction project you undertake.
Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) are two complementary components of a greater concept: Quality Management. To achieve success in a construction project and prevent additional expenses and potential problems, both QA and QC must be effectively planned and implemented.
VERTEX provides QA and QC services for commercial and residential construction projects across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. From independent plan reviews to comprehensive construction site inspections, we carefully listen to our clients and work alongside them to ensure their needs are met in a cost-efficient and precise manner.

Building Commissioning
Building commissioning (Cx) is a systematic process to ensure that a building’s systems perform as designed and that the owner’s efficiency strategies and lifecycle costs are met. VERTEX supplies Cx services for both new construction and existing buildings. Our team will work with your project designers, contractors, and stakeholders throughout the pre-construction phases, as well as during occupancy.
During the pre-construction stage of your project, we will perform a professional documentation review and help in the development of the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR) and Basis of Design (BOD). During construction, our Cx experts will verify that the building’s systems are implemented properly, as well as prepare manuals and documentation for maintenance and operations personnel. After occupancy, our Cx specialists can provide additional testing to develop specific reports, such as attaining sustainability certifications.
