Independent Oversight for Better Construction Outcomes
Criterium-Williams Engineers provides third-party quality assurance for new construction and major renovations. Our team provides practical knowledge of how building systems are supposed to go together—and what typically goes wrong in the field. We observe construction at key milestones, document conditions, and help project teams address issues early, reducing risk, rework, and costly callbacks.
Why Quality Assurance Matters
Even well-designed projects can fall short if details are missed during installation. Independent QA gives owners and builders an objective look at workmanship and system performance while there’s still time to make corrections.
