QUALITY ASSURANCE BUILDING STANDARDS

PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS TO BUILD BY.

Participation in the Indiana Quality Assurance Builder Standards (QABS) program is only available locally to members of the Southwestern Indiana Builders Association.

The objective of the Standards is to encourage professionalism within the home building industry and increase the likelihood that consumers will have satisfactory experiences when building or remodeling their homes.

The standards address the vast majority of the questions that arise in the course of the typical construction or remodeling process; define the builder’s and the homeowner’s responsibilities; and define for customers what to expect before, during and after the completion of a project.

What the Indiana Quality Assurance Builder Standards ARE:

  • Tool used to establish realistic customer expectations at the  beginning of the building process for the service period
  • Definition of standards for common issues that would typically lead  to disputes and independent inspections of a builder’s product
  • Set of standards that will eliminate further government intervention  into the industry caused by customer complaints
  • Method by which the builders association will work to improve the  consumer’s image of builders and the building process.

What the Indiana Quality Assurance Builder Standards Are NOT:

  • They will NOT create a drastic change in the way you are doing  business today
  • They are NOT an attempt to rewrite the building codes
  • They are NOT an attempt to add another review process to your  business of building homes
  • They are NOT an attempt to have the builders association tell you  how you should build your house or what materials to use in your  house

For detailed information about the Standards program, contact the SIBA office or contact a builder who has committed to QABS… a SIBA member!

QABS PROGRAM

Indiana Quality Assurance Building Standards

SIBA members who want to put the QABS Program to work for them should contact Bill Pedtke at bpedtke@sibaonline.org.

The Quality Assurance Builder Standards provide new home buyers and remodeling homeowners a way to measure the quality of the project against an industry approved set of standards.

Builders and homeowners can use these performance guidelines to:
• communicate and understand each other’s expectations regarding the building or  remodeling project
• address the most prevalent issues that arise between the builder and the customer  before the project, during the project, and, most importantly, after the project is completed
• help eliminate problems before the project even begins
All too often it is the undefined expectations that create the majority of the problems encountered in the building and remodeling processes.

If disputes arise, that cannot be settled between the two parties using the standards, the program includes a mediation/binding arbitration mechanism to provide another vehicle to dispute resolution outside the costly and time-consuming court process.
