 QCC - Quality Control in Construction  

David Friedman is the founder and owner of QCC. David has had thirty years experience in the building industry graduating Bachelor of Architecture Melbourne University 1980, registered as an Architect in State of Victoria 1982, joined the Royal Australian Institute of Architects (RAIA) in 1983, qualified as an ISO 9001 Lead Auditor in 1998 and achieved ISO 9001 Principal Management Consultant qualifications with     RABQSA International in 2000.

The idea for QCC developed in 1995, when a large architectural office in Melbourne approached David to assist in the development of its quality system for certification.

On their behalf, David successfully trained QA staff to train others, established and managed their quality system leading to the achievement of ISO9001 certification. In 1998, as a result of that and continuing requests to investigate suspect works in medium and large-scale projects, QCC was formed.

Since that time and to now, QCC has provided project specific QA, contractual and construction advice including mentoring and staff training, QA manual and procedures development, and the execution of construction compliance and forensic audits for Major Projects Victoria, Department of Justice Victoria and Alfred Health.

Some of the larger projects serviced by QCC for its clients include  the 2009- 2010 Building Education Revolution (BER) attending to over fifty schools; the National Gallery of Victoria refurbishment, the new County Court of Victoria and the    Alfred Hospital (MacFarlane Burnett Institute) addition. 

In 2009, David was invited to speak, at the fib 2009 International Symposium London UK, by fib's scientific committee to present his peer reviewed paper entitled Quality Control - Striving for the Verifiable Result.

The Paper demonstrated how the application of quality control techniques can effectively limit project litigation; dramatically improve a project's quality outcome while saving the project owner considerable costs.The Paper was well received by the UK and EU government representatives and grudgingly acknowledged by others.
