The Construction Innovation Hub has launched a new quality assurance framework setting out a best practice approach for manufacturers to follow during the creation of new platform systems and offsite manufactured construction products.
Known as the Construction Product Quality Planning (CPQP) framework, it sets out a five-phase process, ranging from product definition to product launch. It also includes the creation of a live control document, which provides a digital audit trail that forms the basis of a building safety case.
At today’s launch (10 August), a set of guideline documents is being made available including the CPQP guide, the Construction Product Approval Process Handbook and nine supporting guidelines to follow that complete crucial aspects of the quality assurance process.
According to the Hub, the CPQP framework will ensure that products and platforms are manufactured to the highest standards, in line with best practices and regulatory standards such as BSI 99001 and the Building Safety Act. It also provides means for effective change control measures to mitigate risk, and product journey mapping from design through to manufacturing. It is also designed to ensure accurate product data is managed and maintained throughout, as per the golden thread recommendations.
