Quality Assurance Programs

Architects who specify a Woodwork Institute Quality Assurance Program ensure that their projects are as well crafted on the inside as they are beautiful on the outside. Our programs verify that even hidden construction methods and materials meet expected quality standards.

We serve the entire United States, with local representatives throughout California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, and Washington. Pick the program that’s right for your project:
