Why Builders, Brokers, and Developers Choose Vanguard
Unbiased. ICC Certified. Field-Tested.
Vanguard QA emerged from GC3’s inspection division and is now an independent, engineer-led QAQC firm. Our real-world inspectors and forensic specialists support better outcomes across the construction process.
What is First Pass Yield (FPY) and how high can it get with Vanguard?
Our process achieves up to 98% FPY, meaning most construction tasks are completed correctly the first time—reducing costly rework.
How does Vanguard help reduce rework and warranty claims?
Our inspectors identify quality issues early, leading to fewer mistakes and post-completion callbacks.
What types of advanced inspections do you offer?
As a sister company to Vanguard QA, Aerial QA Worx enhances our services with advanced drone imaging, 3D modeling, and site analysis. Their cutting-edge technology provides accurate elevation data, construction progress tracking, and exterior layer verification—helping our clients reduce risk, prevent rework, and accelerate decision-making on every project.
Is Vanguard compatible with the tools I already use?
Yes, we offer a seamless integration with Procore and offer an Open API for integration and automation with platforms like Buildertrend, Autodesk Construction Cloud, PlanGrid, Bluebeam Revu, Viewpoint, Smartsheet, and many more.
Do you offer construction phase inspections?
Absolutely. Our packages are tailored to provide oversight at every key phase of construction, and we partner closely with our clients throughout each project to ensure proactive communication and quality results.
