Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
QA stands for “quality assurance.” Specifically, on USACE and NAVFAC projects, the government has a QA representative onsite to carefully monitor and consistently ensure that the QC Manager is performing his or her duties effectively. Furthermore, the QA typically reports to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or Project Engineer, regularly providing updates on their observations and activities throughout their time at the construction site. In this way, QA oversight works in tandem with QC efforts, thereby maintaining overall project quality, compliance, and accountability. In this way, QA oversight complements QC efforts and helps maintain overall project quality and compliance.

QC stands for “quality control.” Specifically, under many prime contracts, the contractor is required to provide an onsite quality control manager, thereby ensuring that project activities consistently meet contract standards. In addition, having a dedicated QC Manager helps maintain quality, compliance, and accountability throughout the duration of the project. Furthermore, they are employed by the prime contractor and ultimately ensure that all subcontractors and suppliers on the project are working and supplying equipment and materials in strict accordance with the contract documents. In addition, their oversight helps maintain consistent quality and compliance throughout the project.
The USACE/NAVFAC CQM training, also called Construction Quality Management for Contractors (CQM-C #784), is a requirement for most Quality Control Managers to take and pass in order for the government to consider their approval to work on their construction projects. The course covers all aspects of the QC Manager’s duties and roles in a general sense. If you wish to acquire a more in-depth understanding of what it takes to be a QC Manager, please visit www.ecertify.io and view their Quality Control courses.
The certification last for 5 years, starting the day you received your QCM certification. After which, you will have to take the course and pass the exam again to re-certify.
You must actively schedule and attend any courses hosted by USACE and/or NAVFAC. Furthermore, these courses are exclusively taught by the government, which ensures that all training aligns directly with federal standards and requirements. As a result, participation guarantees that you stay fully compliant and up to date with project expectations.

Quality control in construction is the systematic process on reviewing and inspecting the construction project daily in an effort to ensure all staked businesses and contractors that are involved with altering the physical property of the project are doing so within the requirements of the contract documents.
Proper quality control consistently ensures that the project is built in accordance with the contract documents. As a result, this guarantees that the government is indeed getting what they are paying for, while also maintaining the highest standards of quality throughout the project.
The construction quality control manager’s primary duty is to ensure that the project is built strictly according to the plans and specifications. On government contracts, where the contract documents can often be extensive and convoluted, the QC Manager plays a critical role. In addition, they ensure that the government ultimately “gets what they pay for,” while simultaneously maintaining quality and compliance throughout the project.
All prime contracts are different. As such, the requirements for the quality control manager can change. But many of the prime contract requirements for quality control managers are: Have and active CQM (#784) certification, have 5 years as a quality control manager or a construction manager with 10 years’ experience, OHSA 30-hr card issued by the Department of Labor, and active first aid / CPR certification.
Most prime contracts typically do not require a degree. However, for Design-Build deliveries or more complex prime contracts, the QCM may be required to hold a degree in order to meet the project’s specialized requirements. In these cases, having formal education further ensures the QCM can effectively manage the project’s technical and quality demands. If this is the case, the requirements for the degree usually require graduate engineer, graduate architect, or a graduate of construction management.
