Personal Story
I couldn’t have imagined that after taking a 1-week work construction placement, that 16 years later I would be fortunate to be in a position to be able to advise and collaborate with construction and manufacturing business owners, CEO’s and project teams to implement, improve and support their teams in delivering high Quality construction and manufacturing projects and products – through doing something that I am so passionate about.
Working with many construction companies within the UK and the Middle East, I noticed a common theme.
Despite organisations having some level of a quality systems in place, these were often over complicated, never explained to the project teams and were producing unnecessary volumes of paperwork; whilst still generating high levels of defects, errors and waste.
All of these aspects were leading to significant financial loss and delays for the projects and company owners, along with complaints from their customers.
With practical knowledge and years of experience within the construction quality field, I wanted to break down traditional perceptions and barriers about Quality, bringing a fresh approach to the industry.
–This is why I established Qualitaz in 2014 for this purpose.
Our objective is to enable project teams to be fully informed, involved, and part of the solution to raising and delivering quality standards.
Qualitaz Approach
