Third-party inspections are conducted by an onsite representative from another organisation with relevant industry experience. This provides a level of objectivity to projects and allows for an outside perspective. The inspector may identify potential pitfalls or errors that your team haven’t spotted, or they may have an understanding of certain areas of expertise or certifications that are currently missing in your team.
Training your in-house team in all areas can cost your company time and resources that they don’t have, so hiring a third-party engineering inspector is often the most cost-effective solution.
There are many points in your project where you’d benefit from inspection reports. It may be that you need a pre-production inspection to ensure that your organisation and supply chain is set up correctly for the upcoming project, or a pre-shipment inspection to check the quality of products prior to arrival.
With the different types of inspections, you may find that final inspections are what you need as they give you a complete picture of the success of the project.
Quality is a vital part of the process, so quality assurance and quality control are essential to your project. Your third-party inspection consultancy will take you through the inspection report and the areas they have looked at, giving you the understanding you need of what has been done.
An on-site representative for third-party inspections will be invaluable to your project. Their knowledge of engineering, as well as objective viewpoint, can help to identify potential problems and ensure your project is delivered to the highest standard.
