Housebuilder Redrow has instituted an iPad-based quality control system for its site teams in a bid to ensure its homes meet the required standards.
The news came as the company unveiled a 7% increase in pre-tax profit for the year to 30 June to £406m in what it said was a sixth consecutive record year for the business.
Revenue rose by 10% to £2.1bn, while Redrow completed 6,443 homes.
Redrow’s new quality control system, introduced this year, allows site manages to use an iPad to identify faults in homes and record them with marked-up photos detailing the corrective works required. The housebuilder’s subcontractors have access to a portal that provides a detailed list of those faults, along with photos of works requiring rectification. Once remedial works have been completed, the subcontractor can close down the instruction by returning a photo of the remediated works.
