PlanRadar Report Reveals How Inconsistent QA/QC Standards Drain Construction Profits Across the GCC

Quality management is a top priority, but inconsistent standards are eroding margins and fuelling costly rework.

Dubai, UAE, 20th October 2025 — A new study by PlanRadar, a leading platform for digital documentation, communication, and reporting in construction, facility management, and real estate projects, reveals a clear contradiction at the heart of quality management.

More than seven in ten construction companies across global markets, including the GCC, begin QA/QC processes from day one — yet over three-quarters (77%) still report inconsistencies between sites and trades. The result: profit margins shrink, disputes rise, and warranty risks climb.

Ibrahim Imam, Co-Founder and CEO of PlanRadar, commented, “QA/QC is a top priority in the construction industry — but the challenge is consistency.

The path forward is clear: unified, enforceable QA/QC standards that create visibility, reduce disputes, and protect margins.”
