Federal Construction QA Focused on Contract Integrity

Federal Construction Quality Assurance

Aftermath Company delivers independent Quality Assurance oversight structured around federal contract administration principles and agency engineering policy. Services support the Government’s inspection authority by verifying compliance, identifying systemic risk, and maintaining clear separation between contractor Quality Control and Government Quality Assurance functions.

Core oversight functions include:

• Evaluation of contractor Quality Management Systems
• Contract document and specification compliance verification
• Submittal and design conformance review
• Deficiency identification and corrective action tracking
• Progress, schedule, and milestone validation
• Closeout documentation and turnover verification

​

Where required, specialty inspection coordination or technical verification is performed within the framework of overall QA governance.

​Title II Construction Inspection Services

Title II services provide independent construction phase oversight to verify that work is performed in accordance with contract documents, specifications, and approved submittals.

Inspection activities are conducted in support of the Government’s inspection authority and are documented to maintain clear separation from contractor means and methods responsibilities. Reporting practices emphasize objective records, traceability to contract requirements, and preservation of the administrative record.

Evaluation of contractor requests for interpretation, clarification, or modification is documented in accordance with established federal change procedures and site condition notification requirements, ensuring technical and contractual impacts are properly assessed.

Services include:

• Field surveillance and targeted inspections
• Submittal and RFI compliance review
• Progress verification and pay application validation in accordance with federal payment provisions
• Coordination with contractors, design representatives, and Government personnel
• Deficiency identification, tracking, and resolution verification
• Documentation prepared to support audit, turnover, and contract closeout

​

Our Compliance Approach

Oversight is executed using a conservative, specification-driven interpretation of contract requirements, with strict adherence to governing documents and approved submittals. Contract silence is evaluated carefully and is not presumed to constitute authorization.

Assertions related to schedule impact, changed conditions, or performance constraints are reviewed for consistency with contractual obligations and documented in a manner that preserves clarity within the official contract record.

Our approach emphasizes:

• Independent verification mindset
• Specification-driven compliance
• Documentation prepared for long-term record integrity
• Coordination without compromise of oversight independence

​

Engagement & Coordination

Aftermath Company Inc. supports agencies, design representatives, and prime contractors through structured coordination, disciplined communication, and clear reporting.

Inspection findings are documented with recognition of established contractual responsibilities and defined role boundaries. Oversight activities maintain independence from contractor means and methods while preserving the integrity of the Government’s inspection function.

Our coordination approach emphasizes:

• Clear and timely reporting
• Structured deficiency identification and tracking
• Direct engagement with project stakeholders
• Focus on risk mitigation and contract compliance

​

Oversight Philosophy

Oversight is executed using a conservative interpretation of governing contract documents and applicable federal acquisition requirements.

Inspection authority is exercised in accordance with established federal inspection provisions, and change evaluation is documented consistent with recognized federal modification procedures. Contract hierarchy principles are applied when interpreting requirements to ensure clarity in the event of conflict.

Safety compliance is evaluated for alignment with applicable federal construction safety standards, including EM 385-1-1 requirements and contractor Accident Prevention Plan (APP) implementation during construction.

Oversight remains independent of contractor Quality Control (CQC) responsibilities and does not assume means-and-methods authority.
