ISO 9001 construction readiness checklist
Twelve questions that expose the usual quality-system gaps in a contracting business.
- Is there a current quality policy, signed, dated and known beyond the office?
- Do documents carry version, approval and date — and are superseded copies withdrawn from site?
- Is there a documented process for producing and approving RAMS and ITPs?
- Are inspection and test records completed against the ITP, signed and retrievable?
- Are subcontractors formally approved before appointment and reviewed after performance?
- Is measuring and test equipment identified and calibrated where results matter?
- Are nonconformities recorded with root cause and corrective action, and closed?
- Do quality objectives exist with owners, dates and measured progress?
- Has every part of the system been internally audited within the current cycle?
- Are audit findings tracked to closure with verification?
- Has management review happened with minutes and decisions acted on?
- Can you retrieve the complete quality record for a completed project within an hour?
