Woh Hup's Quality Management Philosophy 6. What sets Woh Hup apart from its peers is its high level of professionalism and its commitment to quality management. Woh Hup's comprehensive quality control systems, which include stringent in-process inspection at prescribed frequency, help to raise the quality standards of its projects. The quality of workmanship is checked by Woh Hup's construction supervisory team and assessed independently by the firm's Quality Assurance Department in accordance with the Project Quality Plan and the Inspection and Test Plan. Each succeeding activity will not commence until its preceding activity is inspected and meets the quality standards required.
Staff also shares experiences on good and bad practices learnt from previous projects.
Woh Hup has devised a defects control system for inspecting and controlling defects in completed units prior to handing over. The system also effectively monitors the progress and completion of rectification works by the relevant subcontractors and ensures the proper closing out of these defects. The adoption of this system effectively minimises handover disputes and facilitated inspection and efficient control of defects. Woh Hup is one of the first construction companies to be certified under the BCA ISO 9000 Certification Scheme in 1994. Recently, the firm has also been certified by BCA under its Occupational Health and Safety Management System.
