Digital Progressive Assurance is a very powerful way to capture information around your project as you complete your surveying, installations, maintenance & commissioning.
Rather than retrospectively collecting data at the end of the process, eviFile provides a real-time capability to collect engineering and construction data in the moment, providing real-time insight onto your project
Real time quality assurance and reporting
Why “Digital Progressive Assurance”?
In most projects, assurance is done retrospectively leading to delays and inefficiencies. By assuring quality as it happens and providing transparecy to the designated approver in real-time, quality can be digitally and progressively assured – hence the term ‘digital progressive assurance’.
Delivering new capital assets (or updating existing ones) often involves sequences of activities. Each step may be subject to a quality inspection and must be signed-off prior to the next one starting. In documenting these inspections and approval steps, contractors can quickly accumulate large volumes of progress monitoring paperwork. And the volume expands if you add in the monitoring of snagging during quality control.

Disciplines and Experience
In an uncertain world eviFile empowers businesses to know exactly how their projects and businesses are performing by:
“While a lot of recent industry focus has been on Building Information Modelling (BIM), ‘linear’ civil engineering projects place special demands on field-based work teams. User- friendly tools like eviFile that automatically connect geolocation with built asset data will help drive successful collaboration between site and office-based workers”
(Steve Caunce, 2020)
Complying with Inspection and Test Plans
On most construction and civil engineering projects, teams will need to follow Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), perhaps to satisfy ISO 9001 or similar monitoring or regulatory requirements. These plans specify the key points at which inspection or verification processes need to be followed to ensure things are progressing as they should be.
Generally, ITPs follow the sequence of operations. They define when a check is needed, what needs to be checked, and who is responsible for signing off each check. For each check, a checklist or quality check sheet (QCS) document is completed.
Who can benefit from eviFile
eviFile has a role based system to provide a simple interface on a mobile device to collect data, alongside a powerful reporting tool to best understand your project
Get a complete overview of a project including details on over runs, blockers and issues. Also get a cross project view, where you can see your current portfolio on a single page
Tailored reports for your project, site team or discipline, providing detailed insights on safety issues, delays, programme clashes or site management concerns
Obtain a complete view of progress against the quality programme, understanding issues that need to be fixed before they get out of hand. Also, obtain a complete view of every quality check sheet in the system and drill down to ensure NCR’s and snags are effectively managed at source
High level outcomes of using the system were:
