Project Audit
Before a project begins to generate additional costs, we thoroughly assess the current state of the documentation and the quality of the work completed. We review the technical documentation, welding work, inspection and test results, material compliance with the applicable requirements, and the completeness of documentation related to the inspection and acceptance of the works.
We also identify what is still required to fully close the project and highlight any issues that require immediate attention and resolution.
When you need it
A project audit is a good first step when work is already underway, but there is uncertainty about whether the documentation and quality control are being kept up to date and accurately reflect the actual progress of the project.
- The documentation required to close the project is incomplete, and it is unclear exactly what is still missing.
- Inspection and test reports are scattered among different suppliers.
- There is no clear traceability between materials, their documentation, and the corresponding project components.
- Non-conformities and inspection findings remain unresolved, and it is unclear who is responsible for addressing them.
- The project is approaching final acceptance, and an independent assessment of the current status and associated risks is required.
What we take responsibility for
We review the agreed project documentation and data, cross-check the available information, and identify any gaps and quality-related issues. This assessment does not replace an on-site inspection, but it gives project management a clear overview of the current situation and helps determine which issues should be addressed as a priority.
Deliverables
- Assessment of the project’s current quality status.
- A list of gaps and risks, with an indication of which require urgent action.
- Assessment of the completeness of the documentation required to close the project.
- A list of open non-conformities, inspection findings, and issues related to material documentation.
- A corrective action plan, including the proposed order of priority.
- A recommendation regarding the next steps, future cooperation, and the scope of support required.
Project Audit Benefits
In a short time, you receive clear answers to three key questions: Where are we now? What could prevent final acceptance? What needs to be addressed first?
This allows decisions to be based on a verified assessment of the project’s actual status, rather than solely on information provided by those involved in its execution.
Responsibility boundaries
The scope of the quality audit is agreed upon before the work begins. The assessment is based on the documents, records, and reports provided.
Responsibility for carrying out production work, inspections, testing, or repairs remains with the respective contractors. If direct support in carrying out these activities is also required, this can be included as part of an additionally agreed scope of work.
