Where Quality Isn’t a Matter of Chance, But a System

We understand that in the civil engineering industry, there is no room for error. A small mistake in a drawing can lead to massive rework costs, critical delays, and damage to the reputation you have worked so hard to build. That is why we don’t just promise quality; we build a system to guarantee it.

The AXA Engineers Quality Management System (QMS) is a comprehensive ecosystem designed to deliver consistency, accuracy, and absolute peace of mind. It is built on 4 solid pillars, combining rigorous processes, advanced technology, and our unique corporate culture

The 4 Pillars of the AXA Engineers Quality Assurance System

1. Proactive Prevention

We believe the best way to fix an error is to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Standards Alignment: Before we begin, we dedicate time to thoroughly study your standards (CAD standards, local codes…) and integrate them into a project-specific Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).
Detailed Kickoff: We conduct a detailed kickoff meeting to ensure the entire team, from the project manager to every engineer, deeply understands the project’s goals and specific quality requirements.

2. Multi-Layered Verification

Every deliverable must pass through a rigorous checking process.

Self-Check: Each engineer is responsible for checking their own work against a detailed checklist before passing it on.
Peer Review: Another engineer on the team reviews the drawing to provide a “second pair of eyes,” helping to catch potential issues the original creator might have missed.
Managerial Review: Finally, the Project Manager conducts the final review, ensuring the drawing is not only technically correct but also fully meets your strategic requirements.

3. Technological Validation

We leverage the power of technology to enhance accuracy and detect issues that are difficult to spot manually.

Automated Clash Detection: With our BIM workflows in platforms like Civil 3D and Revit, we can run analyses to automatically detect clashes between disciplines (e.g., structural and utility systems), helping you avoid costly errors on site.
Automated Standards Checking: We use custom tools and scripts to automatically check drawings for compliance with standards for layers, fonts, and other conventions.

4. Continuous Improvement (Kaizen)

Our system is never static.

Root Cause Analysis: When an error occurs, we don’t look for someone to blame. Instead, we embrace our “courage to fix mistakes” culture, collectively analyzing to find the “hole” in our process and fix it.
SOP Updates: Every lesson learned is distilled and updated into our company-wide SOPs, ensuring we never make the same mistake twice.

The Engine Behind the System: A Culture of Quality & Improvement

Any system, no matter how good, is meaningless unless operated by people with the right mindset. The “engine” that powers our Quality Assurance Framework is the unique culture built from our ATED philosophy.

Speed in Quality: We understand that quality without speed is meaningless. That is why we continuously invest in the most advanced tools, from detailed QC checklists to using AI to write custom AutoLISP tools, which automate processes and accelerate progress while ensuring absolute precision.
Learning from Mistakes: Our culture is one of “courage to fix mistakes.” When an issue arises, we don’t prioritize assigning blame; we focus on finding the root cause within the process to improve. Team members voluntarily assess and create 5C reports, turning every error into a valuable learning asset for the entire system. This spirit of accountability and continuous learning is the foundation of our sustainable quality.

The Foundation of the System: A “Thriving” Team

The ultimate foundation for the success of our Quality Assurance Framework is our team of engineers, holistically developed through our ATED philosophy—a team with a “Leadership Mindset,” who proactively “owns” the quality of their work.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Things You Might Be Wondering About

We understand that choosing an outsourcing partner is a significant decision that requires deep trust and understanding. Below are the answers to some of the most common questions our partners have when they begin their journey with AXA Engineers, categorized by topic for your convenience.

If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

1. Doesn't a 3-layer checking process slow down my project's timeline?

On the contrary, it accelerates it. By catching and fixing errors early in the process, combined with our automation and AI tools, we significantly reduce the time wasted on rework in later stages. An hour spent on thorough checking can save you dozens of hours and significant costs on the construction site.

2. What happens if your team finds an issue or inconsistency in the documents we provide?

We will notify you immediately. Our approach is collaborative. We don’t just execute mechanically. If we see something that could be improved or needs clarification, we will proactively raise the issue and propose solutions, with the ultimate goal of delivering the best possible outcome for the project.

3. Your courage to fix mistakes culture is great, but how do you ensure errors are not repeated?

Through our Kaizen system. Every time a mistake is analyzed and its root cause is found, that lesson is immediately updated into our QC checklists and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). This ensures that the entire organization learns from that error, turning it into an “intellectual asset” that makes our system stronger.

4. Is your Quality Assurance Framework flexible enough to adapt to different project types (e.g., land development vs. structural detailing)?

Absolutely. We apply the same quality framework, but the detailed checklists and procedures (SOPs) are customized to fit each project type and your specific requirements. A land development project will have different check-points than a structural detailing project, and we ensure our process is always best suited to the context.

5. What is the Project Manager's role in ensuring quality?

The Project Manager is the ultimate guarantor of quality before a deliverable is sent to you. They are responsible not only for the timeline but also for conducting the final “Managerial Review” step in our 3-layer checking process. They ensure that the entire QMS is strictly followed for your project and serve as your primary point of contact for all quality-related matters.
