Construction Quality Assurance

Miyamoto achieves disaster-resilient, cost-effective, culturally appropriate, and performance-based structures by relying on cutting-edge construction management technology and innovative approaches to building with local materials and contractors. 

Rapid urbanization in disaster-prone areas is a significant risk driver in the developing world, setting the stage for higher economic and social losses, and leaving urban populations highly vulnerable. Many buildings fail in earthquakes due to poor quality control and oversight during construction. 

Miyamoto consults on building code standards, seismic retrofit guidelines, and other technical resources and manuals. The firm has carried out large-scale construction supervision and quality-control programs after significant disasters, such as the 2010 Haiti and 2015 Nepal earthquakes. The firm provides excellent training for contractors and their teams in scheduling, cost control measures, and skills that remain in the country for generations.
