Quality in residential construction is not a single moment — it is the cumulative result of hundreds of correct decisions made at the right time. This checklist reflects our internal quality audit framework used across all BCIM residential projects.
Stage 1: Foundation and Substructure
- Soil test report reviewed and approved by structural engineer
- PCC (Plain Cement Concrete) mix design approved
- Reinforcement bar placement verified against approved drawings
- Concrete cube test results meeting minimum strength requirements
Stage 2: Superstructure
- Column and beam reinforcement inspected before shuttering
- Shuttering and centering inspected for alignment and stability
- Concrete poured in approved mix design and tested at point of pour
- Curing records maintained for minimum 28 days
Stage 3: Waterproofing
- Terrace and bathroom waterproofing membrane thickness verified
- Flood test conducted and held for minimum 24 hours
- Construction joints waterproofed before concealment
Stage 4: Finishes
- Plaster mix ratios verified
- Floor tile adhesive coverage checked (minimum 85%)
- Grout lines checked for uniformity
- Paint coats counted and signed off per room
Stage 5: MEP Systems
- Electrical cable sizes verified against load calculations
- Plumbing pressure test conducted before wall closure
- Air conditioning duct sealing inspected
Running this checklist stage by stage — and refusing to move forward until each is cleared — is the foundation of our quality management system.
