Housebuzz's Quality Control Management Certification

All our projects are configured according to the Quality Standard in QUALCON. We have also appointed a Quality Manager to check the quality. He will suddenly visit all our projects and check the quality. He will issue a red-card to engineers who do not adhere to Quality. Our goal is to minimum wastage in all stages of construction by maintaining quality.
