Quality Assurance and Control Guidelines

This guide provides an overview of BEC Arabia's Quality Assurance and Control Guidelines, a critical component of our Quality HSE Compliance. Ensuring quality in our mega projects is not only a strategic priority but also a reflection of our commitment to professionalism, efficiency, and compliance. These guidelines are designed to help employees understand their roles, responsibilities, and workflows, and to ensure alignment with KSA regulations, BEC Arabia’s internal policies, and international construction standards.

Procedures and Workflows

• Quality Planning: Identify quality requirements and establish plans for meeting them. This includes setting quality objectives, identifying necessary resources, and developing a quality management plan.

• Quality Assurance: Implement the quality management plan and use quality audits to ensure that the project is following the defined processes and standards.

• Quality Control: Monitor and measure the project's outputs to ensure they meet the defined quality standards. This includes conducting inspections, tests, and evaluations.

• Quality Improvement: Identify opportunities for improving the quality management system and processes. This includes conducting root cause analysis, implementing corrective actions, and monitoring the effectiveness of these actions.
