ISO 9001 construction readiness checklist

Twelve questions that expose the usual quality-system gaps in a contracting business.

About ISO 9001
  1. Is there a current quality policy, signed, dated and known beyond the office?
  2. Do documents carry version, approval and date — and are superseded copies withdrawn from site?
  3. Is there a documented process for producing and approving RAMS and ITPs?
  4. Are inspection and test records completed against the ITP, signed and retrievable?
  5. Are subcontractors formally approved before appointment and reviewed after performance?
  6. Is measuring and test equipment identified and calibrated where results matter?
  7. Are nonconformities recorded with root cause and corrective action, and closed?
  8. Do quality objectives exist with owners, dates and measured progress?
  9. Has every part of the system been internally audited within the current cycle?
  10. Are audit findings tracked to closure with verification?
  11. Has management review happened with minutes and decisions acted on?
  12. Can you retrieve the complete quality record for a completed project within an hour?
