Quality Assurance Program

Northeast Engineers was founded on the strong belief that the long-term growth and prosperity of a business is directly dependent on conscientious work. Our commitment to quality starts before the project begins. Our work plan is the start of the quality process.

Key personnel responsible:

1. QA/QC Manager
2. Project Manager
3. President

Northeast Engineers will be responsible for the professionalism, technical accuracy and coordination of all services such as designs, drawings, specifications, cost estimates, and other work or materials as applicable under the contract. The project submitted will represent the best architectural and engineering solution possible for the scope of work. All work will be in accordance with current criteria, guides, and specifications, and will be in accordance with best engineering practices.

We apply an in-house quality control plan on all jobs to ensure accuracy of design, specifications and content. Our methodology includes: internal organization relative to both the management and development of projects; cost controls in relation to the contract budget; key personnel involved in the design (specially qualified engineers and architects with federal contract experience); and the daily procedures of checks-and-balances for Quality Assurance.

QA/QC activities begin immediately after receiving a task order. The Project Manager assigns the team in accordance to the technical experience and abilities required, as well as the timeline for completion. All projects follow a similar process:

A preliminary study of the assigned project with budget considerations is conducted to:

• Identify of the technical discipline and staffing requirements.
• Determine of the type of team to employ.
• Assign the discipline specialists for each project.
• Determine an accurate schedule, considering the customer’s timeline.

The Project Manager and the Quality Control Manager conduct weekly “Team Meetings” with Project Coordinators during which they:

• Verify there are no deviations from the foreseen time planning.
• Check that the work is performed within the project budget.
• Check that the Scope of Work is accomplished.
• Analyze all aspects for potential technical issues that may occur.

Once the design or plan is completed 100% (including 30% and 90% reviews), the following tasks are performed prior to final submission:

• Review the drawings and, if necessary, color boards.
• Review technical specifications and calculations.
• Review and complete permit applications.
• Confirm that the owner’s comments, including those from 30% and 90% reviews, are addressed in the final documents and that the original design intent has been followed.
• Conduct final coordination and constructability reviews.
• Ensure specifications and other documentations are properly translated.

The Final Phase (Submit Final Design Package) and project completion is reached prior to, or according to Task Order deadlines, the turn over of the bound specifications, final tracings, diskettes, CDs, color boards, binders, calculations, drawings, and cost estimate. The documentation is prepared in the number of copies required and is submitted to the contracting officer for final approval. When implemented fully, this process results in coordinated documentation and less change orders in the field.
