The Baltimore District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in partnership with the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, the Maryland Chapter Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) offers the Construction Quality Management For Contractors. This course is geared towards achieving construction quality.

The mutual goal of the Contractor and the Government is to achieve a quality product, safely, on time and within budget. Quality management succeeds through a partnership between the Contractor and the Government. The contractor is responsible for the daily quality of the work, while the Government Quality Assurance helps ensure that the contractor’s quality control program is effective. Scheduled goals are achieved through proactive contractor leadership that “builds it right the first time” avoiding costly rework.

Effective quality control supports worker pride, results in favorable recognition, and has the potential to increase the profit margin for contractors.
