The Hindu Business Line : Pact signed for certification programme in construction

Pune, Sept. 22 A memorandum of understanding has been signed for the first quality certification programme in construction between the Construction Industry Development Council (CIDC) and the Pune-based Durocrete Construction Quality Rating Agency Pvt Ltd (CQRA).

CIDC is a representative organisation of the construction industry. The MoU was signed by Mr P.R. Swarup, Director-General, CIDC, and Mr Ujwal Kunte, Managing Director, CQRA.

Mr Ujwal told presspersons that the ‘CIDC-CQRA Joint Quality Certification’ would be offered in categories such as RCC – Structure and Overall Construction Quality.

It would also be offering OHES (Occupational Health, Environment & Safety) certification during construction.

Mr Swarup said that this would provide momentum to raising overall quality standards across the industry.

The certification programme would be based on the quality indexing system and software developed by CQRA, which could benchmark construction quality levels on a scale of (scorecards) 0-10.

The data is periodically captured from the construction sites in objective formats, analysed and comprehensive stage-wise reports are generated.
