Quality Assurance
Building Control
The overarching priority is to achieve
a Building Control Certificate for the
project on or before the contract PC Date.
In so doing we programme back from this
date to allow a 6 week commissioning
and demonstration period, which allows
for O&M preparation and for inspection
and certification periods together with
the final snagging.
Snagging / Punchlists
We have developed a commissioning
programme to ensure compliance with the
employer’s requirements and regulations.
Once the M&E services reach 3rd fix we
will commence with commissioning the
building. This is approximately 6 weeks
from the BCAR upload date, by which time
we will require all utilities in the building
to go live. Our Technical Services Manager
will coordinate the commissioning of the
building with the site management team
and the subcontractors. Once complete,
the Design Team will verify. Certificates
will be issued by the subcontractors and
Ancillary certs will be issued along with
the As-built information for the BCAR
upload
The workflow on the left outlines how
we manage Snagging / Punchlists on the
project using Procrore. The Snagging /
Punchlist template is created at the start
of the project. Once this is done the site
team and Elliott Group management can
generate a snag item at any stage of the
job using their mobile app. This item is
assigned to the relevant owner for action
and they immediately get a notification
of same.
Once the work is completed the snag
item is logged as completed and sent
to the Site Manager for approval and
closeout.
The dashboard tracks all open snag
items and allows the management team
oversight over the snagging process
allowing early action if there are delays
in closing out.

strategy and its cause and effect. We call
this approach “Soft Landings”.
End-user
demonstrations
will
be
organised at a suitable time to ensure
that the end-users know how the
services in the building are operated
and maintained. In addition to this
maintenance schedules and maintenance
procedures will be issued to the client/
end-user. These system demonstrations
will also include the issuance of various
access codes, keys, fobs, and other
equipment necessary for the effective
operation of these systems.
A particular focus will of course be

As noted earlier we at Elliott Group are
focused on zero defects and understand
our obligations very with respect to BCAR
regulations. This experience allows us to
be in a position to issue all the completed
ITP’s to the Assigned Certifier as soon as
substantial works are completed thereby
allowing the Assigned Certifier to sign
off on the works and upload the project
to the BCMS system and receive a valid
Certificate of Compliance.
