The Quality Assurance for Building Act (Wkb) requires a different way of working: instead of inspecting quality after construction, quality must be demonstrably assured from the design and preparation phases onward. This makes early assessment of design, detailing, and buildability essential for keeping risks under control.

Early Quality Control

By critically reviewing quality, regulatory compliance, and buildability at an early stage, design and construction risks can be identified before they result in rework, delays, or additional costs. This leads to a more predictable construction process and supports compliance with the requirements of the Wkb.

What Are the Benefits?

• Reduced rework and failure costs
• Greater control over Wkb requirements and project risks
• mproved management of schedules and budgets
• Fewer delays during construction
• Greater confidence in demonstrable quality

First Time Right

IBS Consultants works according to the First Time Right principle: integrating quality into the design and preparation process from the very beginning. This proactive approach prevents problems rather than solving them afterward, resulting in greater certainty, lower costs, and a more efficient process.

Who Is It For?

Our approach supports all stakeholders involved in the construction process, including architects, contractors, developers, property managers, façade manufacturers, homeowners’ associations (HOAs), and public-sector clients.
