QUALITY MANUAL
I. General
Quality construction is the quint essence of KSPHC contracts. All
materials entering works shall undergo quality tests prescribed as per
relevant BIS. Materials not confirming to standards stands summarily
rejected.
Testing of building materials and ensuring satisfactory quality in works
is the prime responsibility of Contractor. For all major housing projects
it is mandatory that the contractor has to establish a quality control
laboratory to test on Day-to-Day and Batch-to-Batch basis.
Contracts stipulate that sub standard quality materials and works are not
only dismantled and removed but also liable for a penalty of Rs. 1.00 Lakh
each for each and every case of default.
Periodical test report of all materials of all projects is envisaged to be
published in web site.
Web Based Project Monitoring provides opportunity to General Public to
bring to the notice of top management all cases of unsatisfactory works.
Stipulation of longer duration of maintenance periods and refund of
security deposit only after satisfactory completion of maintenance period
discourages use of poor quality materials in works.

agencies in case of complaints about quality of works
