SQPA™ — Site Quality Performance Audit
A 7-day on-site diagnostic that measures how your quality system actually performs at the workface — not how it reads in the manual.
One senior auditor. Seven days. Your live workface.
We sample live welding, coating, dimensional and documentation activities against your own ITPs and procedures — interviewing the people doing the work and checking the records behind the signatures.
The output is a scored performance report your management can act on immediately: what is working, what is exposed, and what to fix first.
Three deliverables. No shelf-ware.
Available as a one-off diagnostic or a recurring quarterly programme for continuous, independent assurance across your project.
SQPA™ — frequently asked
What is a Site Quality Performance Audit (SQPA™)?
SQPA™ is a seven-day independent audit that measures how your quality system performs at the workface rather than on paper. A senior auditor samples live welding, coating, dimensional and documentation activities against your own ITPs and procedures, then issues a scored report, a prioritised corrective action plan and a close-out presentation to management.
How long does it take, and what does it disrupt?
Seven days on site with one senior auditor. Work continues normally — the audit samples activities already in progress and uses short interviews with the people performing the work, so production is not stopped.
What is the difference between third-party inspection and client representation?
Third-party inspection verifies specific equipment or activities against a specification and issues a release. Client representation places a representative at the vendor or site continuously on your behalf — witnessing tests, verifying progress claims, managing nonconformities and reporting directly to your project team.
Which disciplines and certifications are covered?
Welding and NDT (CSWIP, AWS CWI, PCN), coating (NACE/AMPP), mechanical and rotating equipment, electrical and instrumentation, and civil and structural, together with lead-auditor qualified quality auditing.
Is SQPA™ a one-off audit or a recurring programme?
Both. It is available as a one-off diagnostic and as a recurring quarterly programme for projects that need continuous independent assurance across the construction phase.
