Any issues highlighted will be discussed during the visit, however as this is outside of the CQR they will not contribute to CQR scores.
A Construction Quality Reviewer will visit two sites arranged by the customer and, using CQR data, will walk the site with the attendees looking at areas of concern. Discussions will focus on the 6-point scoring logic and where the attendees think the build stage is currently scoring at.
Immersive days cost the same as a Construction Quality Review if you already take those from us. If not, the cost is £1,750 + VAT.
A discussion will take place in the site office covering areas of focus, a route will be agreed, and the reviewer will visit plots on site in varying stages of build with the attendees to discuss good and poor practice based on the CQR 6-point scoring logic.
The sessions suit site management, Contracts Managers and Construction Directors who are keen to gain a better understanding of how CQRs are completed, how the scoring logic is applied and what could be done to improve quality.
Quality Assurance Reviews
Costs vary depending on the size and complexity of the organisation. Get in touch to find out more.
Quality Assurance Reviews (QARs) complement our on-site Construction Quality Assurance Reviews, focusing on quality-related processes, procedures, competencies and policies. Unlike standard quality assurance audits, we use the NHBC new homes sector-specific QA framework for a practical, tailored approach. Designed for continuous improvement, our Rating supports businesses at every stage.
Our experienced consultant will thoroughly review your processes and documentation related to the framework. This will involve detailed discussions and clarifying questions to ensure a comprehensive understanding of your current practices.
A QAR is typically one-day on-site review at your offices, where we use our framework to evaluate your existing quality assurance processes, procedures, competencies, and policies. You will need to upload supporting documentation as evidence. After the review, you will receive a RAG-rated report highlighting strengths, areas of improvement and actionable recommendations.
QARs are suitable for builders, developers, trades, housing associations, build-to-rent sectors and manufacturers.
Timber frame immersive days
NHBC’s timber frame Immersive Day is an interactive ‘deep dive’ into the key focus areas of timber frame construction. The day aims to provide guidance on common defect areas and discussion on how quality can be improved using Construction Quality Review (CQR) data.
Immersive days cost the same as a Construction Quality Review if you already take those from us. If not, the cost is £1,750 + VAT.
Initial run though on CQR and Claims data as well as builders overall build position and common problem areas. Then there will be a site walk where, during this time, participants are encouraged to identify good and poor areas. They will get to debate how that level of quality has been achieved/could be improved, using the CQR 6-point scoring logic.
