· Specifications of the work as per plan.
· Testing the strength and performing it in time.
Technical Service required for Inspection
A variety of construction material is used for the construction work. It is, therefore, necessary to have technical service for quality control.
Personnel
It is necessary to have well-qualified, trained and experienced inspectors for performing the inspection job efficiently and promptly.
Laboratory and Field Testing Facilities
The testing material requires laboratory facilities. Such facilities must be made suitable to have the control over the quality of work performed.
