Abstract - Quality assurance (QA) in commercial buildings plays a pivotal role in ensuring optimal performance, occupant satisfaction, and long-term sustainability. This involves systematic processes and methodologies to maintain standards in design, construction, operation, and maintenance. QA encompasses the evaluation of materials, construction practices, building systems, and compliance with regulatory and safety standards. It aims to minimize defects, reduce operational costs, and enhance energy efficiency while meeting environmental goals. Advanced tools such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), automated monitoring systems, and predictive analytics are increasingly integrated into QA processes. Additionally, stakeholder collaboration among architects, engineers, contractors, and facility managers ensures comprehensive oversight and continuous improvement throughout the building lifecycle.
