What We Do -
Provide Design Quality Management
PQM works with public agencies and private companies who
produce planning and design documents for infrastructure
projects. We help technical professional organizations
improve their production consistency and reliability.
Implementing a PQM Quality Management Program enables
organizations to outperform their competitors.
Why Design Quality Management?
Construction cost overruns average about 10% of the bid
amount and many of these overruns could be prevented prior
to the bid. These unnecessary problems often cause construction
delays, liability exposure and relationships hardships.
When Should You Be Concerned?
If your construction cost overruns exceed 3% of the bid
price then a risk assessment evaluation should be considered.
However, if it exceeds 5% corrective action is necessary.
The Solution
Lessons learned suggest that a strengthened Design Quality
Management Program will reduce problems during construction.
How To Proceed
Implementing PQM’s Quality Management Program will
increase your efficiency and effectiveness. PQM offers
two programs for public agencies and design organizations
that reduce construction cost overruns:
 |
Public Agencies - Provide Design
Quality Assurance and Quality Control |
|
Design Organizations – Develop
and implement Quality Management Program |
Most organizations strive to be the “Designer of
choice” and “Employer of choice”, but only
the ones that have a strong Quality Management Program
and disciplined management succeed. PQM can help your
organization consistently deliver reliable projects. |
