The role of the quality assurance officer within the WKB
Important for the quality assurance professional within the WKB
A quality assurance company assesses completely independently whether a building plan can comply with and ultimately also complies with the Besluit bouwwerken leefomgeving (Bbl), formerly the Bouwbesluit. The quality assurance officer may not be involved in the realization of the new building project in any other way than in the role of quality assurance officer. A quality assurance officer may therefore not be the client, architect, contractor, etc. of the construction work for which the quality assurance officer is hired.
Good building starts with SKG-IKOB
Do you distinguish yourself with what you produce and supply, or how you work? Make it demonstrable with a certificate, hallmark or quality label. That gives customers and end users more certainty and confidence about sustainability and safety in construction and the built environment.
Building well has started at SKG-IKOB for more than 50 years.
