From Site to System: How QS Insights Improve Waterproofing Quality Assurance
Quality isn’t just about what’s applied on-site - it’s about how every step is tracked, measured, and verified. Learn how a QS-driven approach strengthens waterproofing QA from start to finish.

In NZ waterproofing, quality assurance (QA) can often feel like paperwork - until a leak appears. That’s when every detail matters.
A Quantity Surveyor (QS) mindset brings structure, consistency, and accountability to QA. It’s about linking the numbers to the application.
1. Translating Plans into Practical Steps
Before a drop of primer goes down, a QS ensures quantities align with the scope and spec. That means each system layer, coverage rate, and substrate type is pre-validated - reducing site confusion later.
2. Real-Time Tracking of Installation Progress
By integrating colour-coded mark-ups and daily logs, site teams and QS can track progress together. This transparency helps both sides verify work done and forecast upcoming stages.
3. QA Forms with Built-In Traceability
Instead of treating QA checklists as a compliance exercise, QS-backed templates connect each checklist item to a system area - making it easier to prove compliance and reduce disputes.
4. Closing the Loop with Suppliers
When QA data shows consistent product or substrate issues, having structured reports allows quick supplier feedback. This strengthens long-term system performance and reduces rework.
