Improve the quality of your projects with tailored checklists!
Save time and money - get better quality in your construction projects, with checklists tailored to your projects
📌 Updated June 2025: This article has been updated with new information on how the use of checklists and independent control can improve quality assurance, reduce risk, and provide better control in construction projects.
Why is quality assurance so important in construction projects?
Quality assurance is a crucial part of any construction project. It is about ensuring that the work meets applicable requirements, and that everything can be documented. To obtain central approval, the company must have routines for quality assurance – and be able to demonstrate that these are in line with the requirements of the Planning and Building Act. This also applies to requirements for independent control, where documented implementation and traceability are particularly important.
Digital control tools and systems can be useful aids in ensuring that requirements are followed and documented effectively.
By using such functions in a digital QA system, the company can gain good overview and control.
What is a checklist - and why use it?
Such a tool is used to ensure that necessary tasks are performed and documented. It functions both as a control routine and documentation – internally, towards clients, authorities or through independent control.
Their use helps ensure that tasks are carried out according to requirements, and reduces the likelihood of errors and deficiencies. It increases accountability and reduces the risk of problems along the way. In construction projects, this helps track progress and ensure the right method at the right time. They should be an integrated part of the KS and HSE/SHA system.
What do you achieve with a structured work process?
Improved efficiency: You will be helped to work quickly and purposefully. It will be easier to keep track of what has been done – and what remains to be done.
Improved quality control: When each step is documented, the risk of errors is reduced. This provides security both during the process and during audits or independent checks.
Reduce the risk of errors: Errors and deficiencies can be time-consuming and costly to correct. By following structured routines, you ensure that tasks are done in the right order and with the right documentation.
Communication and Collaboration: A construction project usually involves a large number of professionals from different disciplines. Systematic routines help ensure that each professional follows the established plan, and therefore promote communication and collaboration.

How to work with quality assurance in build my project and my mobile ?
With my project you have a template library with various forms and documents. Although our library is extensive, such a library will never be complete. We at buildit therefore appreciate our customers who provide feedback on what they need so that we can continuously expand our library. In this way, we can, together with our customers, offer the largest possible library.
With my mobile you get an efficient tool for filling in and handling deviations. Everything is synchronized with my project, so the project manager has a full overview in real time.
In short: build makes both the practical and administrative aspects of QA and HSE requirements easier for you. It gives you more time for what you actually make money from: Building.
Examples of content in our template library:
Administration – Quality check of subcontractors
Administration - Before starting on site
Groundwork - Radon barrier
Carpentry – Interior walls / Exterior walls / Exterior roofs / Joists
HSE – Hot work, Scaffolding, Safety round, Waste management
Concrete work – Floor on foundation, Cast-in-place concrete wall
Masonry work - Walls with lightweight clinker
Several of these are available in different variants, for example roof checks that are adapted to different roof types – a cardboard roof requires different points than a roof tile.
By using good routines and checklists, you save time and money, and increase the quality of delivery. You can follow the progress during the construction period, ensure that necessary tasks are done and reduce the risk of deviations - both internally and through external control.
